Use PHP to insert WP site name in a page

Hi,
Is it possible to put some PHP in the html of a WP page so that the site name is displayed. I have tried inserting <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> but did not get a result.

Any clues please?

Cheers

    That's normally how it's done.

    Where exactly are you placing that code? It may very well be that there is some code before that which is directing PHP to divert around that code.

    Where abouts are you trying to display the information?

    In most cases, you would use that inside the themes header.php - if you are trying to do that as the page title, you might want to check what the user is visiting - if its a post then display the post title, followed by the site name.

      It seems I need a plugin such as the php-exec plugin to enable that. I want to put it in a page content, like TOS.

      Anyone used that plugin?

        You dont need any plugins.....

        If you change your themes header.php (if it has one) you do not need any plugins; it should be included in all templages (pages, posts, archives) and you can change the output with somethnig like (untested code, just as an example);


        PHP Code:
          <?php if ( is_home() )   { bloginfo('name'); } 
          elseif (         is_search() )   { bloginfo('name'); print " | Your search results tags "; } 
          elseif (         is_single() )   { wp_title(''); print " | "; bloginfo('name'); } 
          elseif (         is_page() )     { bloginfo('name'); print " | "; wp_title(''); }
          elseif (         is_category() ) { bloginfo('name'); } ?>
        ....and so on.

    Just add it to your theme (in the loop of singlepage.php) and it will display. Just won't work in a post with out a plugin -- then it probably still won't work half the time
