Tag Cloud Font Size

Replies: 0

I want the tag cloud to have different font size depending on the post count per tag. I most prefer the style of the tag cloud in the wordpress theme twenty fifteen. I already tried overwriting the style.css with a child theme using the following code:

/* Tag cloud widget */

.tagcloud,
.widget_tag_cloud,
.wp_widget_tag_cloud {
	line-height: 1.5;
}

.widget .tagcloud a,
.widget.widget_tag_cloud a,
.wp_widget_tag_cloud a {
	border: none;
	-webkit-box-shadow: none;
	box-shadow: none;
	display: inline-block;
	float: left;
	font-size: auto !important; /* !important to overwrite inline styles */
	margin: 4px 4px 0 0 !important;
	padding: 4px 10px 5px !important;
	position: relative;
	-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease-in-out, border-color 0.2s ease-in-out, color 0.3s ease-in-out;
	transition: background-color 0.2s ease-in-out, border-color 0.2s ease-in-out, color 0.3s ease-in-out;
	width: auto;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	z-index: 0;
}

.widget .tagcloud a:hover,
.widget .tagcloud a:focus,
.widget.widget_tag_cloud a:hover,
.widget.widget_tag_cloud a:focus,
.wp_widget_tag_cloud a:hover,
.wp_widget_tag_cloud a:focus {
	border-color: #bbb;
	-webkit-box-shadow: none;
	box-shadow: none;
	text-decoration: none;
}

This removes the border around the tags (so the child theme is actually changing something), but the font size remains the same.

I also tried adding the following in the Custom CSS Editor.

.sidebar .tagcloud a{
    color: #000;
    font-size: auto !important;
}
.footer-widget .tagcloud a {
   font-size: auto !important;
}

This was suggested in this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tag-cloud-31/
but I assume this was for another theme.

Is there a possibility to get the old style of the twenty fifteen back? And if yes, how?
I am really sorry if this question was already answered somewhere else, but I couldn’t find a related and resolved topic among all the tag cloud or widget related threads.
