Can’t get tags to show up in WP_Query loop…

  • Hi,

    I am trying to use tags in a custom query:

    <?php $homeArticle = new WP_Query();
		$homeArticle->query('showposts=10');
		while ($homeArticle->have_posts()) : $homeArticle->the_post(); ?>
		<div class="postWrapper">
			<span class="entryTitle">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<h4>by <?php the_author(); ?>, posted <?php the_time('F, j Y'); ?> at <?php the_time(); ?></h4>
			</span>
			<? the_content();?>
			<div class="post_meta">
				<p>Posted in: <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
				<?php the_tags('<ul><li>','</li><li>','</li></ul>'); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>

    But for some reason they never show up… Putting them in a standard Loop seems to be fine though…

  • Have you tried throwing the post id to the get_the_tags function? So, something like this:

    <div class="tag_list">tags:
<?php
    $tags = get_the_tags($post->ID);
    $total_tag_count=0;
    foreach($tags as $tag) {$total_tag_count++;}
        $tcount = 0;
        foreach($tags as $tag)
        {
            $tag_name = $tag->name;
            $tag_slug = $tag->slug;
            echo '<a href="/tag/'.$tag_slug.'" title="'.$tag_name.'">'.$tag_name.'</a>';
            $tcount++;
            if ($tcount < $total_tag_count)
            {
               echo ", ";
            }
        }
?>
</div>

    You could probably clean up the first foreach so you only have to use one, but this should give you a general idea.

    @silentgap – I pasted this code right into my custom wp_query, and it worked like a charm – thanks!

    I’ll clean it up for my own needs, of course.
