show only posts for a tag

If I understood your request correctly, you do not need a custom page template… you can use conditional query..
but .. if you DO want a tag.php , you need to create the template and add this :
query_posts(‘tag=bread+baking+recipe’);

and then , what you want to show, like title, writings, divs, styling, excerpt, images etc …
asically, just take the archive.php, duplicate it and change the query..

ok, how does it work if i don’t create a template page?
where do i put this code?
query_posts('tag=bread+baking+recipe');
thanks!

Let us make things a bit clearer.

By default your archive.php will show the posts corresponding to a particular tag, if the name of the tag is clicked on the tag cloud or a list of tags.

If you want to have a sperate page showing posts from a particular tag or set of tags, make a page template and add the query_posts snippet ahead of the loop, and associate this template to the special page that you create.

ok great!, it seems to work… the only problem that i still have is that when i click on “previous entries” i get 404 not found.
https://www.noiduepercaso.com/tag/

how can i solve this?
thanks!

404 because there is no SECOND page for tags at the moment , not with YOUR permalink structure..

@staceppa,

If you have more posts tagged with the selected tag(s) and the previous entries link returns 404, then we have an issue.

If you are using a single tag only, then you try making a template like “tag-slug.php” (slug=your-selected-tag-slug) and link it as “https://www.noiduepercaso.com/tag/your-tag”. You may try if this solves the previous entries issue, if it is a real problem.

Tag pages are like archive.php and category.php files, they are not templates, but an archive page.

Just create a copy of your archive.php (or category.php), rename it tag.php … you don’t need to do anything with the query_posts line ….

As kichu said above, you can do this on a per-tag basis to (like categories), with tag-NAME.php , where NAME is the name of a tag…

Just create a copy of your archive.php (or category.php), rename it tag.php …

Like I wrote 7 posts ago ??

you don’t need to do anything with the query_posts line …

IMHO , if he wants to use more than one tag, he should cahnge the query line to accomodate more tags ..

great! it works now
i created a page called tag-MYTAG.php and recalled the page as
https://URL/tag/MYTAG

one last thing… with the query_posts(‘tag=bread+baking+recipe’); i could decide the order, like ASC, can i do the same with this?

I think you can use this string before the loop without affecting the rest of the parameters.

query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");

great!
it works
thank you very much people!

prego !

If you want your posts to be sorted by tags, like

Tag 1
– post 1
– post 2
– etc

Tag 2
– post 1
– post 2

You can use Multiple Loops.

Create a page template based on ‘archive.php’ and call it e.g. ‘tag-archive.php’

Put

<?php
/*
Template Name: Tag list
*/
?>

in your first lines.

In this template you create a loop
Rewind your posts
Create the second loop
Upload the template in your theme directory
Create a page based on this new template

Example:

<?php } ?>
<?php query_posts('tag=fun'); ?>
<div class="posttitle"><h2>These posts were fun!</h2></div>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!-- do your stuff -->

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php rewind_posts(); ?>

<?php query_posts('tag=pleasure'); ?>
<div class="posttitle"><h2>All Pleasure posts!</h2></div>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!-- do the stuff again -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
