I have been looking high and low for an answer to my problem which is related to above.

In my template I am displaying a page and wanting to show groups of related posts on the right. Each group is a category and each post is also tagged with a keyword. In this particular part of my site I am using the title of the page as the match for the keyword. Example might be category of “Quick Tips” for tag equaling “Foo”. I would want that post listed when on the “Foo” page.

Here’s the code.

<?php
			$args ="cat=80&amp;tag=".$mypage_title."&amp;showposts=5";
			echo ($args);
			$recent = new WP_Query($args);

		if ($recent->have_posts()) {
			?><h4>Quick Tips</h4>
			<ul>
			<?php
			while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();
				//if (has_tag($mypage_title)) {
				if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'flv', true)) {
				?>
				<li><a class="sidebarnav1" href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><img width="20" src="/wordpress/wp-content/themes/revolution_business-10/_images/video2.jpeg"> <?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
				<?php }else{ ?>
				<li><a class="sidebarnav1" href="<?php the_permalink()?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

				<?php }//}
			endwhile; ?>
			</ul>

When I use add the “tag=????” I stopped getting back any posts. I have echo’d my $args and they do contain the page title. I got page title using

$mypage_title = trim(wp_title('',false,''));

What am I doing wrong that combining category and tag won’t work?

Thanks for any help!
