List pages based on tags?

Okay, I am back at it and I found a plugin called “Page-Tags” which allows me to assign tags to pages. Great.

I’ve looked at query_posts and lo and behold, it allows me to list everything with that tag, including the pages I’ve tagged with the above mentioned plugin. Awesome.

The query I’ve put before the loop is as follows:

query_posts(‘tag=blue&orderby=title&order=ASC’);

I am almost there but now I want to limit the output to PAGES and exclude posts. I’ve tried the following:

query_posts(‘tag=blue&post_type=page&orderby=title&order=ASC’);

But it still lists pages AND posts, apparently the ‘post_type=page’ is ignored.

I am way out of my depth here, can anybody help me? Again: is there a better way to list pages based on tags? Will there be a better way in WP 2.8? Will WordPress ever include a decent tagging feature for pages?

Thank you @randomanic and @t31os_,

I have tried MichaelH’s code, but it still ignores the page type. Here is what I’ve used:

<?php
$params=array(
'showposts'=>5,
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish,pending',
'tag'=>'blue'
);
$query = new WP_Query;
$results = $query->query($params); ?>

It does not matter whether I set the post_type to page, post or any. It always gives me any post or page.
