   <?php the_tags('<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>

   is not working on ttemplate file "single.php" i recently updated my blog to wordpress 2.8.

   I tried all PHP fuctions as mentioned over here http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_tags

   but still no success...I tried different themes also, upgraded to 2.8.1 beta-1 but still no solution :(

   Any help would be appreciated

   I just ran into a similar problem--using the_tags() just didn't show up.

   I found that I was using the Loop example from the Codex. If I replaced it with the one in the default theme, the_tags() started working.

   Originally, I had this:

   if ( $posts ) : foreach ( $posts as $post ) : start_wp();

   I replaced it with:
   

   if (have_posts()) :
   	while (have_posts()) : the_post();

   Of course, the bottom needed to be changed, as well, from an endeach to and endwhile.

   Worked for me.

   I've got the same problem in single.php:

   <?php the_tags('<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>

   The above code does not output anything, whereas in index.php it does. Any ideas??

   In another thread I found a suitable answer to this -

   global $wp_query;
   $wp_query->in_the_loop = true;

   I have two loops on my index page and was running into this issue as well, no tags being spit out. Once I put the above before the second loop (the while loop), it worked.

   Hope this helps.

   That's because the_tags() is a function for use in the loop...

   If you need to use it in a customised loop, or non-standard loop then you should use it's child/sister function get_the_tags and pass the necessary ID into the function...

   Thank you jayroh, I've just upgrade my wordpress. You're right, it worked.

   But I found some theme already updated with this issue.

   And this is my site
