 * Hi.
 * I am developing my first wordpress theme and I have to say that I know very little
   of php (I know enough about html and css).
 * That said, my problem is the tags of the posts: when I click on any tag should
   be open a page where they are all posts that have the same label (tag), but I
   still see all posts, even those that don’t have the selected label.
 * I’m using the function <? php the_tags(); ?> inside de loop, the structure is
   like this:
 *     ```
       <aside>
   
       <h4>Tags</h4>
   
       <ul class=”tags”>
   
       <?php the_tags( ”, ‘&nbsp – &nbsp’, ” ); ?>
   
       </aside>
       ```
   
 * No problem so far, becose I can see the tags of each post.
 * Inside the other single.php (which I use as a page template to view posts belonging
   to a specific category) I insert a query to call the posts that have the same
   label (tag):
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       $args = array(
       ‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
       ‘tag’ => “ tag name ”);
   
       $query = new WP_Query($args);
   
       if ($query->have_posts()) : while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * but it doesn’t work, I can’t see only posts with a specific label, I see all 
   posts.
 * I hope someone can help me.
 * Thank you

 * The **tag** accepts the tag slug, not the tag name. So if for example the tag
   name is “some tag” the slug would be “some-tag”.
 *     ```
       $args = array(
           'post_type' => 'post',
           'tag' => 'some-tag'
       );
       ```
