Comma separated taxonomy terms in WordPress

Want to display unlinked terms that the current entry has for a specific custom taxonomy within the loop?

Here’s the sample code for that.

	// Displays comma separated Staff Position taxonomy terms.
	function sk_entry_terms() {
	$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID() , 'staff-position' );
	if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
	echo '<p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-terms">';
	foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
	$entry_terms .= $term->name . ', ';
	}
	$entry_terms = rtrim( $entry_terms, ', ' );
	echo $entry_terms . '</span></p>';
	}
	}

Replace staff-position with your custom taxonomy.

and the function call:

<?php echo sk_entry_terms(); ?>
