  Hi. I created a tag cloud widget for my website, Here Comes the Shrink. I placed it in the Primary Sidebar of my Oxygen theme. When I change the amount of tags to display, the count changes. However, when I add tag exclusions, the tags I mentioned still show up when I view my website. Is this a glitch, or it there something I can do about it. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. When adding the tag exclusions, did you use the tag names or the tag ID, which is a number? You need to use the latter.

  To get the tag ID, go to the Tags section of the WP-Admin dashboard. If you click on a tag to edit it, you will find the tag ID in the URL in the browser’s address bar, as explained here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tag-cloud-widget/#how-to-exclude-tags
