Comma separated taxonomy terms in WordPress

by 8 Comments

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(); ?>

    try this instead:

    function sk_entry_terms() {
    $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID() , ‘staff-position’ );
    if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) { ?>

    name;
    }
    $output = join( ‘, ‘, $terms_list );
    echo $output; ?>

    <?php
    }
    }
