templates - How to make tag post listing page working?

I'm adding tags to posts. Clicking a tag takes you to an overview listing of all posts for that tag. I created this listing by adding template "tag.php", which includes:

$tag = get_queried_object();
$currentSlug = $tag->slug ;
$args = array(
    'tag'                   =>  $currentSlug,
    'post_type'             =>  array( 'post' ),
    'posts_per_page'        =>  '6',
);
$recentBlog = new WP_Query( $args ); 

This works and produces a listing for a slug like /tag/subject01. So far so good. Next thing that I want is to add some content blocks to the tag listing page, like a title and intro text. This should be a normal wordpress page that can be edited by content authors. So I created a new page with slug /tag/. For this page, I can't select the tag.php template. So I copied template tag.php to page-tag.php, and the new page /tag/ is using template page-tag.php. The problem that I have is that the new page will only show a list of all posts that have been tagged, regardless of which tag it is. When I go to tag/subject01, the page /tag/ is not showing with my additional content; it just shows the list from the template tag.php. So my question is, how can I make the listing page show the content for tag/subject01, tag/subject02, etc? Thanks!

• Can you paster the full page of the page and more clear what you trying to do? – BenB Commented Mar 26, 2020 at 1:12
• Hi @BenB , thanks for your reply. I added the full php above. I am trying to do this: - create a tag landing page with that lists all posts for a specific tag. For example; /tag/dogs - this needs to be a page with additional copy that can be edited - so in Wordpress, I want the "edit page" button to show The php above will fetch all tagged posts, but not just the posts tagged as 'dog'. – ams Commented Mar 26, 2020 at 14:11
• Why not use the tad description field or add extra fields to the tad and then those fields? – BenB Commented Mar 26, 2020 at 21:42
• @BenB that works for me, thank you. I'm using the tag name and tag description in my template now. – ams Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 15:30
• happy it helped. I update a full answer in case someone will run into similar issue – BenB Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 23:06

You can use the function tag_description to get the tag description in the tag page instead of creating a post to store the tag description
