I am trying to retrieve the slug for a tag inside a wordpress post, now its possible to get all tag info using
$tag = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
More info on this on the Wordpress Docs
By using this you should get data returned like this...
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[term_id] => 4
[name] => tag2
[slug] => tag2
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 4
[taxonomy] => post_tag
[description] =>
[parent] => 0
[count] => 7
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[term_id] => 7
[name] => tag5
[slug] => tag5
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 7
[taxonomy] => post_tag
[description] =>
[parent] => 0
[count] => 6
)
)
Now what I want is the slug for the first item which should be as follows
$tag[0]['slug']
However by doing so I recieve this php error:
Cannot use object of type stdClass as array
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? and whats the best way to get the slug data
