 * I’m trying to output the last (chronologically) 4 posts having the tag (slug)“
   pp”.
 *     ```
       <ul>
           <?php
           $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'taxonomy' => 'tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'pp' );
           $tag_posts = get_posts( $args );
           foreach ( $tag_posts as $post ) :
             setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
           	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
           <?php endforeach;
           wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
           </ul>
       ```
   
 * This snippet though output 4 entries of the same post, which is the fourth from
   last! How come? 🙂

 * Try it with a tax_query:
 *     ```
       $args = array(
           'posts_per_page' => 4,
           'tax_query'      => array(
               array(
                   'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
                   'field'    => 'slug',
                   'terms'    => 'pp'
               )
           )
       );
       $tag_posts = get_posts( $args );
       ```

 * Try:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
