# Problems with wp_query

 * Hello,
    All my posts have tags. Now I want to select all posts that have certain
   tags and display 4 of them. In string I have my tags “tag1+tag2+tag”. This part
   works, but it always shows all posts with the specified tags and not only 4. 
   Ideally I would want to show 4 random posts that have the specified tags.
 * $featuredPosts = new WP_Query(‘post_count=2’);
    $featuredPosts->query(“tag=$string”);
   while ($featuredPosts->have_posts()) : $featuredPosts->the_post(); ?> . . .
 * Can anyone please help me?
 * Thanks!
