                            break;
                        endif;
                    endif;
                }
            }

    at the echo "<p>" .the_tags(). "</p>"; I am trying to get the posts tags to display but cant seem to pull and display the tag data correctly.

    Any ideas on how to display the posts tags after the post title?

    the_tags() should be used inside the Loop. Try this instead:

    get_the_tags($author_post)

    This returns an array of tags. Then you have to cross the array if you want to echo it out.

    That got an output, the word “Array”

    echo "<p>" .get_the_tags($author_post). "</p>";

    So thats progress ??

    Of course, I told you. It is an array and you need to traverse it.
    I can’t teach you php.

    Thank you for your hint, I was able to traverse the array and get the tags to display but now I think im just missing something about formatting the output because there is an extra (comma) at the end of the list

    $tags = get_the_tags($author_post);
                    echo '<div class="righttext">- Tags: ';
                    foreach ( (array) $tags as $tag ) {
                        echo $tag->name. ', ';
                    }
                    echo '</div>';

    Thanks again for your help.

    Try this:

    $tags = get_the_tags($author_post);
    $tagnames = array();
        foreach ( (array) $tags as $tag ) {
            array_push($tagnames, $tag->name);
        }
    $comma_separated = implode(",", $tagnames);
    echo '<div class="righttext">- Tags: '.$comma_separated.'</div>';
