In this article, we’ll take you through a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this cool effect using Elementor, one of the most popular page builders for WordPress.

What’s the Big Deal About Tags Breaking Down Like a Button?

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s talk about why making tags break down like a button is such a big deal. For starters, it adds a touch of elegance to your website’s design, making it more visually appealing to your visitors. Moreover, it helps create a sense of organization and tidiness, especially when you have a large number of tags.

So, What’s the Magic Formula?

The magic formula lies in using a combination of Elementor’s built-in features and some clever CSS tricks. Don’t worry if you’re not a coding expert; we’ll break it down into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Create a Tag Cloud Widget in Elementor

First things first, you need to create a tag cloud widget in Elementor. To do this:

1. Open your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the page or post where you want to display the tag cloud.
2. Click on the “Edit with Elementor” button.
3. In the Elementor editor, click on the “Add Widget” button.
4. Search for the “Tag Cloud” widget and drag-and-drop it onto your page.

That’s it! You should now see a basic tag cloud widget on your page.

Step 2: Customize the Tag Cloud Widget

Next, you need to customize the tag cloud widget to make it look like a button. To do this:

1. Click on the tag cloud widget to open its settings.
2. Under the “Layout” tab, set the “Layout” to “Inline” and the “Alignment” to “Center”.
3. Under the “Style” tab, set the “Background Color” to a color of your choice (e.g., #f7f7f7).
4. Set the “Border Radius” to 10px to give it a rounded corner effect.
5. Set the “Padding” to 10px to add some space between the tags.

This will give your tag cloud widget a basic button-like appearance.

Step 3: Add CSS Magic to Make it Break Down Like a Button

Now it’s time to add some CSS magic to make the tags break down like a button. To do this:

1. In the Elementor editor, click on the tag cloud widget to open its settings.
2. Under the “Advanced” tab, click on the “Add Custom CSS” button.
3. In the “Custom CSS” field, add the following code:

.elementor-tag-cloud {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: center;
}

.elementor-tag-cloud a {
  background-color: #f7f7f7;
  border-radius: 10px;
  padding: 5px 10px;
  margin: 0 5px 10px 0;
  display: inline-block;
}

.elementor-tag-cloud a:hover {
  background-color: #e7e7e7;
}

This code tells Elementor to display the tags in a flexible layout that wraps to the next line, with each tag having a button-like appearance.

Step 4: Style the Tags to Perfection

Finally, you can style the tags to perfection by adding some additional CSS code. For example, you can add the following code to change the tag text color and font size:

.elementor-tag-cloud a {
  color: #333;
  font-size: 14px;
}

You can also add more styles to customize the appearance of your tags.

The Final Result

And that’s it! You should now see a beautiful tag cloud widget that breaks down like a button, with each tag looking like a separate button. Here’s an example of what it might look like:

Tag 1	Tag 2	Tag 3
Tag 4	Tag 5	Tag 6

Voila! You’ve successfully made your tags break down like a button in WordPress using Elementor.
