  I’m customizing the sandbox theme for my company’s blog page. We have a tag cloud in the left sidebar. However, the tag cloud is showing the tags as list items and won’t display inline. Here is a link to our blog.

  Does anyone know how to rectify this via css?

  Thanks

  Thanks, I understand what that’s saying. However, I have chosen the option to ignore the original css and start from scratch with my css code. So, I shouldn’t be having that problem.

  Okay then. The bottom line here is that you will have to either work this out for yourself or wait for devblog to find this thread and help you.

  wdfamarketing,

  Sorry but you have more things going on… you have some really bad CSS there, just take a look at this page:

  You might want to consider revising your code, in doing so you may find what’s messing the tag cloud up.

  Sorry, that was my “beta” css, so to speak, that I was using to figure out which IDs and Classes controlled what. Cleaned up CSS is now being used, but I’m still having the same problem with the tag cloud. I just can’t get it to display inline for that cloud effect. As it stands, it just looks like a list of links. Any suggestions would be helpful.

  Thanks.

  That page still looks messed up. I’m just saying because you don’t want your clients/readers see your blog all messed up.

  Also, you do not need to write your selectors like this:

  p.wp-caption-text

  That is really unnecessary. This should suffice:

  .wp-caption-text

  Now, to fix your issue, add this to your CSS:

  #wp_tag_cloud a {display: inline;}

  That should do it.

  Not trying to be a jerk or anything but I would strongly recommend you to fix those pages. Not a pretty sight there.

  Thanks, that did the trick.

  Thanks for the advice as well. I’m aware the blog is still buggy. It’s a work in progress, so all that messed up stuff will be fixed within the week, hopefully. :)
