 * I’m really trying to figure out hhow to get this to work but I can’t think of
   what else to try. I don’t understand:
 * “So go to one of your category pages. If your using using fancy permalinks then
   at the end of the url add “`?tdo_tag=a_tag`“. If your not using permalinks then
   you can just use “`&tdo_tag=a_tag`“. You must use the tag slug, not the full 
   tag name. You can use multiple tags as above using “,” and “+”.
 * I assume this is my “fancy permalink”
 * </p>
 * I found it in archive.php. I assume archive.php is one of my “category pages”
 * but I have no idea where the end of the url is, I don’t see an http anywhere.
   If anyone could show an example that would be great.
 * Thanks.

 * Your code has been mangled – could you put your code between backticks of highlight
   and click the “code” button? Thx.

 * backticks of highlight?, man, I think I’m really out of my league here.
    but 
   I’ll give it a go
 * Like this?
 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent
   Link to', 'buddypress' ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title();?
   ></a></h2>`
 * hopefully thats right. Thanks for getting back to me, do you understand my issue?
   I don’t really know what is meant by “one of my category pages” so this may not
   be the link (fancy or no) which I’m supposed to add the code to.

 * Whoops – sorry, that should have said “backticks OR highlight”. 😉
 * I don’t really know that plug-in, but could “go to one of your category pages”
   mean go to your category template – i.e. category.php in your theme folder?

 * BTW – you don’t see “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); anywhere because the URL
   is automatically generated by `<?php the_permalink() ?>`. That’ll end up being
   a URL that starts with http://

 * How about trying:
 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>?tdo_tag=a_tag" rel="bookmark" title="<?php
   _e( 'Permanent Link to', 'buddypress' ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?
   php the_title(); ?></a></h2>`
 * Replace a_tag with the actual tag.

 * Hey I did it! I always wondered how you guys did that. Thanks.
    Anyway, even 
   if I knew what was meant by that, I don’t know if I have fancy permalinks, and
   even if I did, I don’t know how to add “&tdo_tag=a_tag” to the end of the url,
   I need to see an example or I’ll struggle with syntax errors all night. This 
   guy’s plugins are great, but I often feel I need to take a class to understand
   how to use them. I got pretty good with mini forms, but this one may just be 
   beyond what I can manage at this point.
 * -never mind, you beat me to the responce, I’ll try what you suggested, thanks
   a bunch!

 * Re: fancy permalinks…
 * Do your URLs look something like [http://www.yourdomain.com/my-page](http://www.yourdomain.com/my-page)
 * Or more like [http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=123](http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=123)
 * If it’s the first situation, you probably have what he’s calling “fancy” permalinks.
   They’re more often called [“pretty permalinks”](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#mod_rewrite:_.22Pretty_Permalinks.22)
   in WordPress lingo.

 * OK, see my above question. Maybe you don’t have pretty permalinks, in which case
   you need to use his second syntax option (or try to get pretty permalinks working,
   see the above link for that).
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>&tdo_tag=a_tag" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent Link to', 'buddypress' ) ?> <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       ```
   
 * Does the plug-in maker offer any support? Might be worth a shot contacting them
   if this doesn’t work.

 * Did you make sure to edit “a_tag” to an actual tag? I don’t actually know what
   this plug-in does, but “a_tag” is just an example in their code, you need to 
   replace it with something real.

 * I posted for help on his forum, I assumed that’s how you found me. I’ll just 
   wait and see if someone comes through. Geez, all I wanted to do was show tags
   from a specific category. I’m having a hard time accepting it could be so complex.
   Feel like I’m missing something obvious…

 * I’ll go over what you’re explaining and see what I get. I didn’t replace anything
   so that is certainly at least part of the problem.

 * Yeah, it sounds like you need to find the tag-slug and replace it with the sample
   text. Do you know how to find the tag slug? (go to Posts –> Post Tags and you
   should see slug listed for the category you’re trying to use.

 * hmm, I don’t think I’m supposed to enter a tag, the plugin is supposed to show
   whatever tags are in a category, I think. I hope!
