What I'm trying to achieve: show either the post tag (without the link) or the title.
If a tag exists, that gets printed if it doesn't, the title gets used.
Issue: I've used get_the_tags() as suggested in the Codex to get the tag without the link and that works, yet it gets the word "Array" printed as a prefix, too.
<?php
if( has_tag() )
{
echo $posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name . ' ';
}
}
}
else { echo the_title(); };
?>
What am I missing?
You are echo ing $posttags which is an array. If you echo an array it will echo array as output
<?php
if( has_tag() )
{
This is printing Array as prefix ----> echo $posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name . ' ';
}
}
}
else { echo the_title(); };
?>
Please remove that echo , so your new code will be
<?php
if( has_tag() )
{
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
echo $tag->name . ' ';
}
}
}
else { echo the_title(); };
?>
Hope this helps you
