   I have a custom taxonomy set up for regular posts, called Miscellaneous. I want to use that in WP_Query to get all posts that have Banner as one of the values of that taxonomy. I have this code:

   $args = array(
       'Miscellaneous'=>'Banner',
       'post_type'=>'post',
       'posts_per_page'=>'10'
   );
   
   $banners = null;
   $banners = new WP_Query($args);
   while($banners->have_posts()) : $banners->the_post();?>

   I'm getting all posts though. I did a print_r on $banners and the sql going to mysql it this:
   SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS fh_posts.* FROM fh_posts WHERE 1=1 AND fh_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (fh_posts.post_status = 'publish') ORDER BY fh_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

   I don't see anything about my taxonomy in there at all. Is it possible to filter by taxonomy at all?

   $args = array('post_type' => texonomy_name,
       'posts_per_page'=>'10'
   );

   I have this in functions.php:

   add_action( 'init', 'fh_taxonomies', 0 );
   function fh_taxonomies() {
       register_taxonomy(
           'misc',
           'post',
           array(
               'hierarchical' => 'true',
               'label' => 'Miscellaneous',
               'query_var' => 'true',
               'rewrite' => 'false'
           )
       );
   }

   I see there I have 'misc', should I perhaps be using that instead?

   ok. now write this

   $args = array(
       'misc'=>'Banner', // or 'misc'=>'banner'
       'post_type'=>'post',
       'posts_per_page'=>'10'
   );

   I figured it out. In my register_taxonomy, for query_var I had 'true' which is a string, not a boolean setting. I changed it to true and it works!
