    I have a page on my website where I insert a Tag Cloud Block via Guttenberg.
    https://soccermoviemom.com/how-to-use/tag-cloud-page/

    However, the Tag Cloud is not up to date. For example, it is does not include the tag “Maradona”, for which I have 5 posts going back to 2014:
    https://soccermoviemom.com/tag/Maradona

    I don’t use the tag cloud anywhere else in my website, so I don’t know if the problem is because I insert this block in a page instead of creating a widget. But it seems to me the tag cloud should be accurate no matter where it is placed, right?

    My site is on WordPress 5.8.2 running Twenty Twenty theme.

    Thank you for your help,

    The tags listed are determined by how many posts use each tag. Tags with few posts might not appear in the cloud. 5 posts might be hardly any on some sites, or a lot on other sites. Also, tags assigned to custom post types might not get applied to the count. Be aware that caching can influence the results you see. Flush any and all caches involved before deciding something is wrong.

    The tags to use comes from get_terms(). The query made is able to be altered by themes and plugins. It’s possible one of them had inadvertently altered the tag cloud query. To eliminate that possibility, as a test, switch to twenty twenty-one theme and deactivate all plugins. Flush any caches. You should now see all tags that are meant to be seen based on the post count where each tag is used.

    Hi @bcworkz,
    thanks for your reply. I am not using custom post types, but I guess my problem is that the tag cloud is not showing tags with less than 7 posts. Funny that I never noticed this limitation before.

    I’d like to show all tags, even if it is quite a large pile. So I decided to instead use the Cool Tag Cloud plugin to show all tags.

    Thank you again for your help, and being so responsive as well.
