How do you display a single tag term with {post_terms_post_tag:plain}

How To
1

I’ve searched but can’t find the answer but the use case with this, this time round, is that I want to display a single wp ‘tag’ term (out of many applied).

NB {post_terms_post_tag:plain} is great for showing terms (without links, which I also need) but I have content with multiple tags and only have room to display one of them.

Free ice-cream to anyone who knows. I’ll send it in the post! :laughing:

If you are a developer or have one at hand you could register your own dynamic data tag: Create Your Own Dynamic Data Tag – Bricks Academy

Since i had to do this quite often, i created a little composer package that is open source to ease the whole process:

Potential code for your problem could look like this:

add_action('init', function() {
    juvo\Bricks_Dynamic_Data_Tags\DDT_Registry::getInstance()
        ->set('single_post_tag', 'Single Post Tag', 'Post Tags', function($post) {
            $tags = get_the_tags($post->ID);
            if ($tags && !is_wp_error($tags)) {
                // Get the first tag or implement your own logic to choose a tag
                return '<a href="' . get_tag_link($tags[0]->term_id) . '">' . esc_html($tags[0]->name) . '</a>'; // Change index if you want a different tag
            }
            return '';
        });
});

Thanks @JUVO. Much appreciated. Ice-cream in the post - and I’ll ask Bricks if they can add direct then too, as other systems such as crockblock/elementor have that built-in - assuming there is no other way direct Bricks way to do this - but thanks for the tip/reply.
