Last item of the loop shouldn't be same

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I'm trying to use a loop to create a comma-separated list, but the last item contains a comma. How can I remove it.

Solution: Use 'last' and 'other' item indices to specify which items need a comma in the results.

<wpv-loop>[wpv-taxonomy-slug][wpv-item index=last][wpv-item index=other],</wpv-loop>

Hello,
I have this code

		<wpv-loop>
          [wpv-item index=other]
          	[wpv-taxonomy-slug],
          [wpv-item index=pad-last]
          	[wpv-taxonomy-slug]
		</wpv-loop>

But I still have a "," at the end of the last item...
Why if that ?
Thank you.

Looks like you figured it out before I could finish typing. Your code works, or you could use 'other' and 'last' like this:

<wpv-loop>
  [wpv-item index=other]
    [wpv-taxonomy-slug],
  [wpv-item index=last]
    [wpv-taxonomy-slug]
</wpv-loop>

The 'pad-last' item isn't used unless wrap is involved, and the number of results is not evenly divisible by the wrap number (resulting in empty items at the end of the loop). In your case, no wrap is used so 'pad-last' isn't ever used either. If you need more information about that, check here:
