   I'm using a custom post that's functioning just fine in my template, but I can't seem to get the_tags to play nicely with it. Here is my code:

   <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio-artwork', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
   <?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
      <div class="thumbnail"><a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php echo strip_tags( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Medium-Sized Thumbnail', true), '<img>' ); ?></a></div>
      <h3 class="worktitle"><a>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>, created in <?php the_time('F Y'); ?></h3>
      <p class="portfolio-page-tagged">Tagged under  <?php the_tags('', ', '); ?></p>
      <div class="hrmedium"></div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Everything is coming out as it should, but nothing is coming up for the_tags. I don't have any rag-related plugins installed, either. Any ideas?

   Cheers,
   Lelia

   Put this behind the WP_Query and see if it works:
   <?php $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; ?>
   Seems to be that the WP_Query is not recognized as a loop (which the_tags() tests for).

   Didn't seem to work, unless I'm putting that in the wrong place (which is possible considering I'm more of a designer!).

   <?php $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; ?>
   <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio-artwork', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
   <?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
      <div class="thumbnail"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php echo (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Medium-Sized Thumbnail', true)); ?></a></div>
      <h3 class="worktitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>, created in <?php the_time('F Y'); ?></h3>
      <p class="portfolio-page-tagged">Tagged under  <?php the_tags('', ', '); ?></p>
      <div class="hrmedium"></div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Same results...just nothing coming up for the_tags.

   Thanks,
   Lelia

   Finally figured it out, thanks to this blog entry by Justin Tadlock! For any passersby, here's the code that will work to pull custom taxonomies for their custom post types:

   <?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'CUSTOM TAXONOMY NAME HERE', 'TEXT BEFORE', 'SEPARATOR', 'TEXT AFTER' ); ?>

   Cheers,
   Lelia

   Glad you found a solution.
   You put the "in_the_loop = true" in the wrong place. Here is where you put it:
   

   <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'portfolio-artwork', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); ?>
   <?php $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; ?>
   <?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
