getting posts from custom taxonomy

    I read the wordpress codex and it said I could use wp_query and tax_query parameters to bring post that are in that taxonomy but it doesn’t seem to be filtering correctly, it still brings back all the posts I asked for.

    here’s my code

    $args = array( 'tax_query' => array(
            'taxonomy' => $this->taxonomy_name,
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => $category
        ), 'post_type' => $this->post_type_name );

        $myposts = new WP_Query($args);
        /*
        $args output: Array ( [tax_query] => Array ( [taxonomy] => our_works [field] => slug [terms] => commercial ) [post_type] => dlm_works )
        */

    I did a print_r() on the $mypost->posts variable and it returns the ALL the posts set in the post_type, when I remove the ‘post_type’ => $this->post_type_name filter, it return ALL the posts I have.

    I used get_terms on my post just to make sure and here’s the result.

    global $post, $dlm_project_var;
print_r(get_the_terms($post->ID, $dlm_project_var->taxonomy_name));

/*
output: there are two custom posts for that taxonomy
1: Array ( [23] => stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 23 [name] => Websites [slug] => website [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 23 [taxonomy] => our_works [description] => [parent] => 0 [count] => 1 [object_id] => 239 ) ) 

2:Array ( [22] => stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 22 [name] => Commercials [slug] => commercial [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 22 [taxonomy] => our_works [description] => [parent] => 0 [count] => 1 [object_id] => 205 ) )
*/

    I have no idea why tax_query isn’t working, I’ve been starring at the codex to make sure I got the syntax right but I still have no clue what’s going on…

    Please help

    My first guess would be that you are telling WordPress that you’re going to supply the taxonomy “slug”, but it looks like you’re actually providing it with the taxonomy “name”.

    I am also not sure where you are defining the $taxonomy_name variable for the class in which you’re using it, so I can’t say for sure what you are sending to the query.

    thanks curtiss, turns out my query was a bit wrong, there was suppose to be an array within that array so the corrent syntax should be.

    $args = array( 'tax_query' => array(
           //another array
           array( 'taxonomy' => $this->taxonomy_name,
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => $category)
        ), 'post_type' => $this->post_type_name );
