  I have tried to add additional tags to previous posts and they don’t show up. In the presentation section under the widget I’ve altered the amount of tags to show up to a higher number and changed the default text maximum and minimums to rule out that this is the trouble. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  The widgets are cached and it can take up to six or so hours for tags to show up in the tag cloud widget. Are they tags you just added recently?

  Thanks sacredpath, they have been added over the past few days, that’s why I waited to write because I thought that may be an issue.

  There is a maximum number of tags that will show in the cloud as I understand it. If you have a lot of tags, then it may be that some of them will not show.

  Correct, but I altered the limit up form 30, or whatever the # was up to 100, just in case that would work, and also if it was a space issued adjusted the minimun/maximun font size increase/decrease percentage. I wonder what the maximum is, I should count my tags. I looked around on other sites and there seemed to be more, so maybe I was mistaken.

  For example, thesacredpath, your tags on your site number 39, so the limit is at least that high. I’ve also played around using different page formats to rule out that this could be a factor.

  Yes, my tags widget doesn’t have any of the setting, whatever it is is what I’m stuck with. I would wait till tomorrow morning and see what happens. If it doesn’t correct, then I would contact staff at http://wordpress.com/contact-support .

  @sitaji:
  if you’re able to set a limit on the widget, then i think you’re using the category cloud widget, not the tag cloud widget. The limit on the tag cloud widget seems to be 45.
