There’s a comma after $the_id which shouldn’t be there:

$cats = get_the_tag_list('<span>Tags: ',', ','</span>', $the_id);

Thanks it works now to show the tags. They appear as links but is it possible to have them output as CLASS or ID because I want to replace each tag with a graphic through CSS. e.g

<span class=”Tag1″>Tag1</span>
<span class=”Tag2″>Tag2</span>

Thanks

Hi,
So this is the code I’m using:

switch($contents)
				{
					case "excerpt": $excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt; $title = $entry->post_title; break;
					case "title": $excerpt = ''; $title = $entry->post_title;  break;
					case "only_excerpt": $excerpt = $entry->post_excerpt; $title = ''; break;
					case "no": $excerpt = ''; $title = ''; break;
				}
$cats = get_the_tag_list($the_id, 'portfolio_entries', '', ', ','').' ';

                if(!empty($cats))
                {
                    $excerpt = '<span class="blog-categories minor-meta">'.__('in','avia_framework')." ";
                    $excerpt .= $cats;
                    $excerpt .= '</span>';
                }

And I get the “in” then nothing after it. When I inspect I see the “blog-categories” class has been created but I don’t see any of the Tags I created in the backend.

Thanks

Here’s the link to the homepage that has a grid of post (currently placeholder but with the correct categories )
If you inspect the element you’ll see they appear as <article> elements with a range of classes. I’d like the items category to be a part of this category list.
Thanks
