# Question About get_posts Parameters

 * Let’s say I have a WordPress site with 10 posts and I want to find what posts
   are tagged “news”. However, I only want to look for the tag in posts 1, 2, 3,
   4, 5, and 6. I don’t care about posts 7, 8, 9, and 10. Will these arguments return
   ONLY posts tagged “news” in the collection of posts I specified?
 * $args = array(
    “tag” => “news”, “include” => “1,2,3,4,5,6” );
 * As a follow up, what if I have a collection of 50 posts and 10 tags? Are there
   any performance issues I need to be aware of when using $args with very specific
   parameters?

       $args = array(
         'tag' => 'news',
         'post__in' => array(1,2,3,4,5,6),
         'post_type' => 'post',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
       );
       ```
