# Display post tags.

 * hi, i’m currently trying to have my post tags under the post.
    but when there
   are no tags for a certain post it doesn’t show anything. but the background still
   shows.
 * i was wondering if i could use an if statement.
    so that when a tag is available
   it will echo the span.
 * [this page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_tags) shows this example:
 * (this is only part of the example)
    `<?php if (get_the_tags()) the_tags(); ?>`
 * but like i was saying how would i go about doing this?
 * what i was thinking was something like this:
    `IF TAGS ARE SET {<span class="
   tags"><?php the_tags(); ?></span><br />} END IF TAGS ARE SET`
 * **Any and All help is appreciated. :]**

 * Just do:
 *     ```
       <?php  the_tags(<span class="tags">',' ','</span><br />');  ?>
       ```
   
 * Then if there are no tags, nothing will show.
 * Hope that helps.
