[Resolved] Blog post tags-links in sidebar widgets

[Megan]

I am wanting to put the tags-links in the sidebar widget area instead of below the post on the single blog post page. How do I go about that?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi there,

it would require creating a shortcode.

1. Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

function db_taglist(){
    return get_the_tag_list('<span class="tags-links in-content">', ', ', '</span>');
}
add_shortcode('tagsList', 'db_taglist');

This article explains adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

2. Then add the [tagsList] shortcode to a HTML Widget in your sidebar.

Perfect. Thank you! How do I go about stylizing the tags?

Try something like this:

.sidebar .tag-links a {
    color: #000;
    font-size: 20px;
}

Perfect. Thank you so much!

No problem 🙂
