Add css class to html element using php in wordpress

Question

I'm having a problem with why this code is not working.

<li><?php if( get_the_archive_title() == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?><a  href="#">1</a></li>

All I want is if the archive page title is equal to the string on the right to echo the CSS class of "active-tag", I'm using WordPress here!

Thanks again :)

you just misplaced your php code :

<li> <?php if( get_the_archive_title() == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?>  <a  href="#">1</a></li>

to

<li <?php if( get_the_archive_title() == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?>  
 >
    <a  href="#">1</a>
</li>

Try to add like below:

<li <?php if( get_the_archive_title() == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?>><a  href="#">1</a></li>

<li><a <?php if( get_the_archive_title() == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?> href="#">1</a></li>

Few changes and it worked,

<li><a <?php if( single_cat_title( '', false ) == "1 Bedroom House Plan") { echo 'class="active-tag"'; } ?> href="#">1</a></li>

Cheers all :)
