[wp-testers] Something odd happening with WP_Query()

[Paul Robinson]

Hi,

So I am helping my sister develop a new theme for her blog. She wants a
featured area so I have got her to use a new instance of WP_Query(); but she
also want's to show what tags are attached to the featured posts. For some
reason though using when using <?php the_tags('Tags:', ', ') ?> nothing is
outputted. There are tags attached to the post & it happens on my blog too.

Sooooo I was wonding if anyone could shed some light on why the_tags() isn't
working inside a WP_Query(); loop. I'm not sure if it's a new thing which is
why I'm posting it in this list.

Thanks.
Paul.
