    Hi,

    I am trying to grab the News Tags and list them in my News Archive

    This is what i got in my function simple_news_loop_custom() in my Themes functions.php:

    // Get Tags
$args = array(
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order' => 'ASC'
);
$tags = get_tags($args);
$html = '<span id="news-pill" class="badge badge-pill badge-secondary"><i class="fas fa-tag"></i> ';
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
    $tag_link = esc_url( get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) );
             
    $html .= "<a href='{$tag_link}' title='{$tag->name} Tag' class='{$tag->slug}'>";
    $html .= "{$tag->name}</a>";
}
$html .= '</span>';
if ( !empty($tags)  ) :
echo $html;
else :
    echo 'no tags';
endif;

    I built in the Troubleshoot “no tags” and that is what i get for all my NewsPosts (Yes, I did create the Tags in the Admin area.

    ————–

    For Categories I used (and it works fine):

    // Get Categories
$categories = get_categories( array(
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order'   => 'ASC'
) );
 
foreach( $categories as $category ) {
    $category_link = sprintf( 
        '<span id="news-pill" class="badge badge-pill badge-secondary"><i class="fas fa-folder"></i> <a href="%1$s" alt="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
        esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts in %s', 'textdomain' ), $category->name ) ),
        esc_html( $category->name )
    );
    echo $category_link; 
}

    Can you please enlighten me on how to to this? ??

    Cheers

    Solved it. This works for me:

    <?php
// Get Tags
$args = array (
    'taxonomy' => 'newstags',
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order' => 'ASC',
);

$tags = get_terms($args);
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
    $tag_link = esc_url( get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) );
    $html = '<span id="news-pill" class="badge badge-pill badge-secondary"><i class="fas fa-tag"></i> ';
    $html .= "<a href='{$tag_link}' title='{$tag->name} Tag' class='{$tag->slug}'>";
    $html .= "{$tag->name}</a></span>";
    if ( !empty($tags)  ) :
        echo $html;
    endif;
}

    Thanks anyway for your simple yet awesome plugin ??

    After investigating, I used the wrong function:
    get_terms(); using this spits out ALL tags that are defined.
    To list all Tags used by a SINGLE post one must use get_the_terms();

    So the final code:

    // Get Tags

$args = array (
    'taxonomy' => 'newstags',
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order' => 'ASC',
);

$tags = get_the_terms($post, 'newstags');
if ( !empty($tags)  ) :
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
    $tag_link = esc_url( get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ) );
    $html = '<span id="news-pill" class="badge badge-pill badge-secondary"><i class="fas fa-tag"></i> ';
    $html .= "<a href='{$tag_link}' title='{$tag->name} Tag' class='{$tag->slug}'>";
    $html .= "{$tag->name}</a></span>";
        echo $html;
}
endif;
