 * Hi,
    When I use {@related.ID} I get 332732, 332733, 332734, and 332735. I need
   only a list of IDs. So, how to remove the “AND”?
 * Thanks on advance.
    Alex

 * Loop through them with `[each related]{@ID}[/each]`
 * That will get you the ID’s individually. What are you wanting to send those ID’s
   into, however?

 * Yes, these IDs then I want to use in the code and “AND” prevents it

 * Hello Jim True,
    So, how could I remove the “AND” without using [each related]?
   Maybe some snippet could help me?

 * Are you displaying the ID’s or are you using them to be placed into something
   else. That’s what I was wondering, ie if you’re using the ID’s to be sent into
   another shortcode, etc.
 * If the latter, then you probably just want to process the posts with PHP instead.

 * Hello,

 * That’s what I thought, you’re probably going to have to a PHP output filter to
   send the value in the field into a PHP function to return the value in the format
   you’re wanting.
 * ie, if you pass {@related} to a PHP function, it will pass that as an array, 
   so you could do `{@related,join_with_commas}` and put the following function 
   in your functions.php (or somewhere in your own plugin, etc.):
 *     ```
       function join_with_commas ( $array ) {
           return implode( ",",$array );
       }
       ```
   
 * `implode` will join the values of the array with the character intended. Since
   the relationship magic tag stores the ID’s of the connected post types, this 
   _should_ work, but you might want to test yourself. I’m not by any means a PHP
   Developer 😉

 * Hello Jim,
    Thank you so much for leading me on the right path. I twisted and
   changed this code for about 3 days… and I did it with function with_commas and{
   @related.ID,with_commas}! p.s. I’m not a PHP Developer too, I’m just an energy
   engineer )

 * Hello Jim,
    and next, how to get taxonomies (‘category’) term id for {@related}
   and separate them with commas? I mean some function , something like this {@related.
   category.term_id,with_commas}

 * You should be able to use the same method; if that’s WordPress’s default categories,
   that would be `post_category.term_id`.
 * PS: I’m not a PHP developer either, I just play one on Support 😉
