WordPress is such a powerful tool out of the box that it is surprising to find something that it doesn’t have a function for. Here is a code snippet that will allow you to show tags that are related to a specific category. The nice thing about this snippet is that it does not require any complicated custom DB queries but uses WordPress’ built in features.

It is as simple as pasting this code wherever you would like to display tags for a specific category. If you would like to change the appearance of the tags, take a look at the options available for wp_tag_cloud(). Don’t forget to change the category name on line 1.

<?php
$custom_query = new WP_Query('posts_per_page=-1&category_name=blog');
if ($custom_query->have_posts()) :
	while ($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();
		$posttags = get_the_tags();
		if ($posttags) {
			foreach($posttags as $tag) {
				$all_tags[] = $tag->term_id;
			}
		}
	endwhile;
endif;

$tags_arr = array_unique($all_tags);
$tags_str = implode(",", $tags_arr);

$args = array(
'smallest'  => 12,
'largest'   => 12,
'unit'      => 'px',
'number'    => 0,
'format'    => 'list',
'include'   => $tags_str
);
wp_tag_cloud($args);
?>

The document.write command is a standard, yet powerful, JavaScript command for writing output to a page. In this article I’ve outline 3 ways to use document.write statements.

Example 1

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<div>');
document.write('	<h4>Example 1 using document.write</h4>');
document.write('	<p>This example uses multiple document.write commands to write ouput to a page.</p>');
document.write('</div>');
</script>

Example 2

<script type="text/javascript">
var output = '';
output  = '<div>';
output  = '	<h4>Example 2 using document.write</h4>';
output  = '	<p>This example uses a lengthy string and a single document.write command to write ouput to a page.</p>';
output  = '</div>';
document.write(output);
</script>

Example 3

<script type="text/javascript">
var output = [
'<div>',
'	<h4>Example 3 using document.write</h4>',
'	<p>This example uses an array and a single document.write command to write output to a page.</p>',
'</div>'
];
document.write(output.join('\n'));
</script>
