   I want to display "Related Tags" on my article based on the tags I used for the article. Is there any plugins for this? I search but couldn't find any.

   I know there are alot of plugins to display "Related Posts".

   Thanks,
   Mke

   Wp Recipes has a cod snippit that shows related post via tag. The original code on the page has an issue that it does close the wp_query and it will mess up your comments, if they fall after.

   The original code can be found here:
   http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-show-related-posts-without-a-plugin/

   Below is my modified version that fixes that wp_query problem using wp_reset_query();

   <?php
     //for use in the loop, list 5 post titles related to first tag on current post
     $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
     if ($tags) {
   
       $first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
       $args=array(
         'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
         'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
         'showposts'=>5,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
        );
           $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   
           if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
               echo '<div class="hr_bottom"></div><div id="relatedContent"><ul><h2>Related Posts</h2>';
   
             while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
               <li><span class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></span> <span class="meta"> - <?php the_time('l, F j, Y G:i'); ?> - <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#commenting" title="Jump to the comments"><?php comments_number('0 Comments','1 Comment','% Comments'); ?></a></span></li>
   
                <?php
           endwhile;
       wp_reset_query();
         }
     echo '</ul></div>';
   }
   ?>
