    I have a movie website and im starting to use the tags-description to show som info about actors. I would like the tags-description and title only to show on the page if there is a tag-description written.

    I suppose i should do some if/else code but I dont know anything about that. The code I got now in my tag.php is

    <div id="tag-title"><?php single_tag_title(); ?></div>
		<div id="tag-description"><?php echo tag_description(); ?></div>
		<?php if ( is_tag() && tag_description() ) : ?>
	<meta name="description" content="<?php echo wp_specialchars( strip_tags( tag_description() ), 1 ); ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>

    Please help

    You can’t use a meta line in the body of a web page.

    Get this now:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/web80729/domains/onyanserat.se/public_html/wp-content/themes/Onyanserat 5/tag.php on line 25

    There must be something else wrong in my tag.php then. Could you please help me with that? Got the whole code above in the pastebin link.

    thanx.

    Can you paste the new template code into the pastebin?

    Thank you. Now it works except two things.

    1. The image I have in the description doesn’t show (I use html with a plugin)

    2. I dont want the title to show on the pages without description either.

    I´m very thankful that you are helping me with this.

    1. How is the plugin returning the image? I did wonder at the <?php echo esc_html( strip_tags( tag_description() ), 1 ); ?> line since you can just use <?php tag_description(); ?>.

    2. See http://wordpress.pastebin.com/FzT1uM2Y
