Wordpress get_the_tag_list($ID) help

Question

Hi Guys,

I am making a new wordpress template and I want to just get, in text format, the list of tags associated with a post. I am using

get_the_tag_list($id)

But the problem is that it returns the URL as well as the text. Is there any way to just get the "text" of tags attached to a post seperated by a comma ?

i.e. "tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4 etc" without the URL and just as text?

Thanks

Answer 1

The template tag get_the_tags() returns an array of all of the tags associated with the post currently in-context within the Loop. You could traverse this array and generate a comma-separated list by hand.

Here's an example of how you could do it using the implode and print_r functions:

<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
  foreach ($posttags as $tag) {
     $tagnames[count($tagnames)] = $tag->name;
  }
  $comma_separated_tagnames = implode(", ", $tagnames);
  print_r($comma_separated_tagnames);
}
?>

echo $tag->name . ','; 
}
}
?>
