[resolved] How to add post_tags to body_class() (2 posts)

    Hello and thx for taking the time to look over this.

    I am trying to add a body class for a single post. The body class i want it to be the post tag(s).

    I tried using the function for category, but it didn't work. Here is the code:

    // add category nicenames in body and post class
function category_id_class($classes) {
	global $post;
	foreach((get_the_tags($post->ID)) as $tag)
		$classes[] = $tag->name;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter('post_class', 'category_id_class');
add_filter('body_class', 'category_id_class');

    Been at it for a few good hours, didn't find anything specific on google. And i am not very good with php.

    Thank you in advance

    Went back to a function i tried a night before when i think i was a bit tired and i must have slipped an error.
    here it is:

    // add tags in body
    function tags_id_class($classes) {
          global $post;
          $tag_names = wp_get_post_tags ($post->ID, array('fields' => 'names' ) );
          foreach ($tag_names as $tag)
             $classes[] = $tag;
          return $classes;
    }
    add_filter('body_class', 'tags_id_class');

    Now when calling <body <php? body_class(); ?>> it is outputting the tag name as well.
    Hope it helps someone else.
