Get posts inside Get terms problem

When you do the following in your code $posttags = get_the_tags($item->term_id);, $item is referring to a post object, not a term object. Therefore, term_id is an invalid property. This should be throwing a PHP notice.

While not certain, I think what you are intending to do is:

$posttags = get_the_tags($item->ID);

since get_the_tags takes a post ID, not a term ID.
