get_tag_template() WordPress Function

The get_tag_template() function is used to retrieve the path of the template file for displaying a tag archive. This function is located in the WordPress core (include/template.php) and is not meant to be called directly.

get_tag_template() #

Retrieve path of tag template in current or parent template.


Description

The hierarchy for this template looks like:

  1. tag-{slug}.php
  2. tag-{id}.php
  3. tag.php

An example of this is:

  1. tag-wordpress.php
  2. tag-3.php
  3. tag.php

The template hierarchy and template path are filterable via the ‘$type_template_hierarchy’ and ‘$type_template’ dynamic hooks, where $type is ‘tag’.
