Here: <a href="http://www.3mind.at/2009/05/06/code-highlighting/" rel="nofollow">http://www.3mind.at/2009/05/06/code-highlighting/</a> Backup the current $post object at the beginning of our code and copy it back at the end, where you also call the built-in function wp_reset_query(). <blockquote><?php //for use in the loop, list 5 post titles related to first tag on current post $backup = $post; // backup the current object $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID); $tagIDs = array(); if ($tags) { $tagcount = count($tags); for ($i = 0; $i < $tagcount; $i++) { $tagIDs[$i] = $tags[$i]->term_id; } $args=array( 'tag__in' => $tagIDs, 'post__not_in' => array($post->ID), 'showposts'=>5, 'caller_get_posts'=>1 ); $my_query = new WP_Query($args); if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <h3><a>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> <?php endwhile; } } $post = $backup; // copy it back wp_reset_query(); // to use the original query again ?></blockquote> mbuhnici on "passing current single_tag_title as variable into new wp_query" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247918#post-1070766 Mon, 11 May 2009 13:41:15 +0000 mbuhnici 1070766@http://wordpress.org/support/ @MichaelH I have the same problem with the code, the comments displayed come from the last post in the similar posts list. What can I do about it? foglub on "passing current single_tag_title as variable into new wp_query" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247918#post-1059197 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:24:21 +0000 foglub 1059197@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hey Michael H, Is there any way to change the code you made from 'first tag' to display 5 posts related (randomly) to ALL of the current post's tags? Thanks!

Is there something i'm missing here? wrosner on "passing current single_tag_title as variable into new wp_query" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247918#post-1041415 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:29:12 +0000 wrosner 1041415@http://wordpress.org/support/ 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. <pre><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></code></pre> When I use add the "tag=????" I stopped getting back any posts. I have echo'd my $args and they do contain the page title. I got page title using <code>$mypage_title = trim(wp_title('',false,''));</code> What am I doing wrong that combining category and tag won't work? Thanks for any help!

I'm also excluding the current post from the query so that it doesn't show up twice. I just read through all the pages in wp_query support forum and I'm still not getting it. I know it has to be a simple answer. A little new to php so I'm guessing it's my syntax. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks. HERE IS MY CODE: <?php $current_tag = single_tag_title(); ?> <?php $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query = null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query('tag='. $current_tag); ?> <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>
