WordPress › Support » How can I get wp_title() to display both tag names when a multi-tag query ran?

I'm using the multiple tag link/query on my site:

http://mysite.com/?tag=cows,horses

OR

http://mysite.com/?tag=cows+horses

But any time you use that kind of query, the wp_title() tag will only show the first tag specified in your link, in this case "cows". The fact that "horses" was also specified in the link is totally unrecognized by wp_title()

Is there a way to get wp_title() to display every tag that's specified? Or is there some other template tag that will do this?

You may want to use the plug-in wp_list_posts. It's for listing posts and does support multi-tags.
Usage:
```
<?php wp_list_posts(’display=tag&tag=tag1,tag2,tag3&show_date=true’); ?>
```
Replace "tag1,tag2,tag3" with your own tags.

Here is its author's site, but it's in Chinese.
You may want to download it from here. I did a little translation.

@Avon: Wordpress 2.5 seems to have this feature already, no need for extra plugins.

I came up with some *ugly* code that will set a variable containing the list of specified tags... like "cows, horses and pigs" or "cows, horses or pigs":
```
<?php

$multitag = "";
$conjunction = "";

if($wp_query->query_vars['tag_slug__and']){
	$the_tags = $wp_query->query_vars['tag_slug__and'];
	$conjunction = "and";
}elseif($wp_query->query_vars['tag_slug__in']){
	$the_tags = $wp_query->query_vars['tag_slug__in'];
	$conjunction = "or";
}

for($i=0;$i<count($the_tags);$i++){
	$multitag .= $the_tags[$i];
	if($i < count($the_tags)-2){
		$multitag .= ", ";
	}elseif($i == count($the_tags)-2){
		$multitag .= " $conjunction ";
	}
}

?>
```
You can put this somewhere in your tag.php or archive.php (before the title) and then output the title with:

<?php echo $multitag; ?>

I know... my solution is a little bit messy and complicated... but I haven't found any other solution.
