So my problem is i have my regular posts, and project posts (custom posts). What i'm trying to do is pull posts from these two post types that share the same tag(s) and display them.
Also i'm not looking for a specific tag=12 or tag=apples, i'm looking for something more complex. Something that displays what ever tag I happen to click and display those posts.
Any help that doesn't involve a plugin would be appreciated.

if ( ! function_exists( 'filter_tag' ) ) { function filter_tag($query) { if ($query->is_tag) { $query->set('post_type', array('post', 'portfolio')); }; return $query; }; } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'filter_tag');

The simple way would be alter the Tag template to query for post-type = Post and your Custom Post Types. A less elegant way would be construct a specific page with a specific template for each tag that does the same thing (Query the tag in post-type Post and Custom Post Type).
