Get tag slug

  • Is there a way I can retrieve a tag slug from a tag title?

    I need to use the tag slug to retrieve the query post because it does not accept the tag title. Can anyone help with getting the tag slug?

    Anyone at all?

    I’ve been fighting with the same problem. I did come up with a solution, but it’s slightly ugly: check the db. Here’s a function I wrote to do the trick:

    function mikko_get_tag_slug($title) {
	global $wpdb;
	$slug = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT slug FROM $wpdb->terms WHERE name='$title'");
	return $slug;
}

    Then I just

    <?php
$slug = mikko_get_tag_slug(single_tag_title('', false));
query_posts('tag=' . $slug); ?>

    in the template code.
