   Hello everyone,

   I used following simple code and this works nice:

   <?php
   $args = array(
            'category_name'   => 'Releases',
            'post_type'       => 'release',
            'tag'             => $newstag,
            'meta_key'        => 'release_date',
            'orderby'         => 'meta_value',
            'order'           => 'DESC'
            );
   
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Since I updated to WP 3.3.1 this code doesn't work anymore. :(

   I don't know why, because $newstag is only a string and comes from the default 'post_tag' taxonomy. I also verified the $args-array with print_r() and the correct values are there.

   When I modify the code for testing and enter a static text instead of $newstag, all works fine and the result is correct.

   Can anybody verify this on WP 3.3.1? Or did I overlooked something since the latest releases (I updated from 3.2.1 to 3.3.1)?

   Thanx a lot for your help!

   I think the problem might be that you are using the category name for category_name. In spite of the label, it requires the slug for the category, probably 'releases', not 'Releases'.

   Thank you for your response.

   I tried it first as you wrote, later I delete all other (not so important) parameters in this array for testing. At the end I tried it only with this code:

   <?php
   $args = array(
            'post_type'       => 'release',
            'tag'             => $newstag
            );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Still the same problem. :(
   Any other ideas? Thank you again!
