Using Tags as Meta Keywords

  • I’m using this code to have tags as meta keywords:

    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php
	if ($posttags) {
		foreach($posttags as $tag) {
			echo $tag->name . ', ';
		}
	}
?>" />

    It’s adding a comma as a separator between each keyword. How can I remove the comma that shows up after the last keyword?

    I want to keep the comma so that it properly separates the keywords in the meta tag. Just want to remove the comma from showing up after the last keyword.

    try

    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php
if ($posttags) {
  $tags='';
  foreach($posttags as $tag) {
    $tags .= $tag->name . ', ';
  }
  echo substr($tags,0,-2);
}
?>" />

    Michael,

    I tried replacing my code with yours, but no tags are showing up in the output.

    Hmm…don’t see a problem, so put you whole template in wordpress.pastebin.com and report the link back here and maybe someone can spot the problem.

    paste function.php file

    function csv_tags() {
	$posttags = get_the_tags();
	foreach((array)$posttags as $tag) {
		$csv_tags .= $tag->name . ',';
	}
if (is_home()) { ?>keyword1,keyword2,<?php }
	echo "$csv_tags";

}

    paste header.php between <head> </head
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo csv_tags(); ?>" />
