Querying posts by taxonomy

    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!
