   I have a page in which the page content appears at top, followed by a category query which returns the one most recent post and then the titles of all posts in that category. I want to show the tags in the posts and below the titles, but the_tags() is not working for some reason.

   here's my code
   

   <?php
   
   /*
   
   Template Name: Lessons and Activities Page
   
   */
   
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   		<div class="entry">
   
   		<?php the_content('<p>Continue reading &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   
   	 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   <!--get latest Lessons and Activities post-->
   
   <h3>Recently Added </h3>
   
     <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=lessons&showposts=1');
   
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();?>
   
   	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   
       <?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php the_tags('| Topic: ', ', ', '.') ?></small>
   
   			<?php echo the_content(); ?> 
   
   				  <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <!--get all archived Lessons and Activities posts-->
   
   <h3>All Lessons and Activities</h3>
   
     <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=lessons');
   
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   
     $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
   
       <!-- Do stuff... -->
   
   	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   
       <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3><small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php the_tags('| Topic: ', ', ', '.') ?></small>
   
     <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   		<br />
   
   		</div>

   	</div>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   nevermind... i just needed to clean up my secondary loops. see below. As an aside, the comments were also not working before, so if your comments don't appear in a template, you should try fixing the loop as such...
   

   <?php
   
   /*
   
   Template Name: Lessons and Activities Page
   
   */
   
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   		<div class="entry">
   
   		<?php the_content('<p>Continue reading &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   
   	 <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   <!--get latest Lessons and Activities post-->
   
   <h3>Recently Added </h3>
   
     <?php query_posts('category_name=lessons&showposts=1');?>
   
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
   
   	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   
       <?php the_title(); ?></a></h2><small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php the_tags('| Topic: ', ', ', ' | ') ?><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></small>
   
   			<?php echo the_content(); ?> 
   
   				  <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <!--get all archived Lessons and Activities posts-->
   
   <h3>All Lessons and Activities</h3>
   
     <?php query_posts('category_name=lessons');?>
   
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
   
   	<div><h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
   
       <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3><small><?php the_tags('Topic: ', ', ', ' | ') ?><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></small></div><br />
   
     <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   		<br /><br />
   
   		</div>
