WordPress: Remove link in the_tags

March 13, 20231 Views

How do I remove the link generated by the_tags?

This is what I use today: <?php the_tags( '', '', '' ); ?>

That results in the tags assigned to the post. But I want to remove the link. Any idea?

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

Get the tag list, and then strip the tags.

<?php
if (is_single()) { the_post(); rewind_posts();
  $articletags = strip_tags(get_the_tag_list('',', ',''));
  echo $articletags;

This is probably a better way of doing so.

Filter the links, by stripping/removing all HTML tags from all post tag links.
```
add_filter('term_links-post_tag', function($links) {
    return array_map('wp_strip_all_tags', $links);
});
```
Then call the_tags, get_the_tag_list or get_the_terms_list to retrieve the post tags.

Note: this removes the links from post tags everywhere when called from one of the above functions, so also in your feed.
