  Hello,

  I have a blog hosted on WordPress.com

  To display a tag or category cloud, I want to exclude some of them, and it says that I should enter the tag/category ID I want to exclude.

  I know where to find such ID on a self-hosted wordpress blog, but where can I find them there?

  Thanks!

  Hi there, as far as I know, that info is still only available in the WP Admin dashboard.

  Add
  /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag to your site address. Then hover your cursor over the tag name and you should see the URL in the status bar of your browser. Alternately you can click on the tag name and the ID will appear in the URL.

  Let us know how that goes.
