The Taxonomy List Widget is a free WordPress plugin designed to create lists of non-hierarchical taxonomies, such as post tags, providing an alternative to traditional term clouds. This tool allows users to implement multiple widgets, each configurable with a unique set of options. It offers extensive formatting capabilities, enabling customization of term display including maximum term counts, order, and name truncation, ensuring that users can tailor the appearance to fit their site's design.

In addition to the widget functionality, the plugin includes the taxonomy_list_widget function, allowing for the generation of lists outside of the widget interface. With support for both bulleted and numbered list styles, it enhances the visual presentation of taxonomy terms. Users are advised to utilize version 1.2 or higher alongside WordPress 4.2 or later to ensure compatibility with the updated database structure.
