What is the correct way to write a conditional statement?

                    <?php if is_tag( 'Premium' ){
                     <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info"> Subscribe</a>

                    }else {

                    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info">Read More</a>
                    }
                    ?>                   

Help Needed.

  • Personally, I would say the correct way to write any conditional is to add parenthesis around the statement: if(is_tag())

is_tag checks whether the page being displayed is the tag archive page for the named tag. It does not check whether the post in a Loop has that tag, which is what you ask: "...to show if the post has tag premium...". For that you need has_tag

if has_tag( 'premium' ){ ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info"> Subscribe</a><?php
} else { ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info">Read More</a><?php
}

Note that has_tag requires the tag slug and not the tag name, hence the lowercase.

try this

<?php if ( is_tag( 'Premium' ) ) : ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info">Subscribe</a>
<?php else : ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="info">Read More</a>
<?php endif; ?>
