wp_tag_cloud() – Random is NOT working

  • I am currently using a widget called Super Tags Widget. It uses all of the native functionality built in to WordPress’ wp_tag_cloud() function.
    (See function detail here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_tag_cloud )

    On my site: https://www.infectedshow.com , the widget is titled “Random Topics” in which I want 15 random tags to be displayed.

    I am confused by the functionality of Order and Orderby. I have the Orderby set to “name” and the Order set to “RAND”. With these settings, I am expecting the function to return to me 15 random tags. It does not.

    Instead, it seems to list all my tags by name in alphabetical order, then pull the top 15 tags, then display them in a random order.

    It seems the error comes from the Order sub-function. I am thinking there should be a RANDOM option within the Order sub-function. What do you guys think?

    In addition: If you look at the function in the first link I gave you above, the Order sub-function currently offers “name” and “count” as options but no random.
