Display post if a specific tag is present

Question

I want to display a particular message when a post has a specific tag on the article.

I've done this, however the 'Hello' text is being shown no matter if the post has the tag 'test' or not.

<?php if ( has_tag() == 'test' ) : ?>

    Hello

<?php endif; ?>

You're using has_tag wrong. You should be attempting has_tag('test') in your if. — Greg McMullen, Jan 22, 2018 at 14:35

According to the docs the input parameters can be:

has_tag( string|int|array $tag = '', int|object $post = null )

so you could try e.g.

if( has_tag( 'test' ) ) { ... }

to check if the current post has the test tag.

ps: I should also mention that has_tag() is boolean, i.e. only returns true or false.
