Question

I need to display all tags for future posts (e.g for a events). I tried with arrays in wp_tag_cloud function, but it’s not working.

wp_tag_cloud(array('post_status' => 'future'));

I tried few more things, but it seems like there is no solution in easy way to display for future posts. Thanks for the any hint.

I remember seeing this issue somewhere. In fact, they ended up doing it all by hand. Would be something like:

// Build tags array

$tags = array();
$posts = get_posts(array(
    'post_status' => 'future',
    'numberposts' => -1
));
foreach ($posts as $p) {
    foreach (wp_get_post_tags($p->ID) as $tag) {
        if (array_key_exists($tag->name, $tags))
            $tags[$tag->name]['count']++;
        else {
            $tags[$tag->name]['count'] = 1;
            $tags[$tag->name]['link'] = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
        }
    }
}

// Show tag cloud

foreach ($tags as $tag_name => $tag) {
    echo '<span class="tag" style="font-size:' . $tag['count'] . 'em;">' .
        '<a href="' . $tag['link'] . '">' . $tag_name . '</a></span>';
}

You’ll probably want to write a compare function to use with array_usort to order the $tags array alphabetically or by tag count.

Hope it helps.
