the_tags() does not work in WP_Query Loop. A Bug?

(@yonthebeach)

Hi,

i have installed WP 2.5.1 and trying to view the Tags with the the_tags() function. My Code is below:

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=10'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <?php the_title(); ?>

        <div class="def"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
    	<?php the_tags(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

But i does not work for me! I have tried it on multiple installation 2.5 and 2.5.1. But i didnt get it working. When i try the following:

<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post() ?>
        <?php the_title(); ?>

        <div class="def"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
    	<?php the_tags(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

I mean switch from new WP_Query Object to the default Loop Object it works???? Whats wrong? Is it a Bug?

thanks
yavuz

I haven’t tested your code, but I why not just use the query_posts() instead?

Do something like this:
```
query_posts("showposts=10");
```
I rarely run across situations where we absolutely need to use WP_Query().

right before you “while” statement add:

$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;

Yes, I can verify this problem. The $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; does not solve it. Changing to query_posts is not an option for me.

The $wp_query->in_the_loop = true; will indeed solve it, as long as you’re using the correct $wp_query object.
```
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
```
