Display tags in list without link

1 Views

This seems like it should be something that’s really simple to do, however it’s apparently not.

I don’t want tags to be links, but I want them to display in an unordered list, with each tag inside an <li>

get_the_tags allows you to echo them without the associated link, but I have no idea how to wrap them in li’s. 

 <?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
  foreach($posttags as $tag) {
    echo $tag->name . ' '; 
  }
}
?>

  1. This would do it…

     <?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
  echo '<ul>';
  foreach($posttags as $tag) {
    echo '<li>' .$tag->name. '</li>'; 
  }
  echo '</ul>';
}
?>

  2. add_action( 'loop_start', 'list_tags' );

function list_tags() {

$tags = get_tags( array('orderby' => 'count', 'order' => 'DESC') );

foreach ( (array) $tags as $tag ) {

echo '<li>' . $tag->name . '</li>';
    }
}

    Use any WordPress or theme specific hook from your functions file.

  3. This is my preferred solution, to wrap the request with strip_tags to retain formatting options. Here is the code:

    <?php echo strip_tags ( get_the_tag_list( '<span>', ',&nbsp;', '</span>' ) ); ?>

    You can also do this for categories.

    <?php echo strip_tags ( get_the_category_list( '<span>', ',&nbsp;', '</span>' ) ); ?>
