5,609 PointsHow to display posts with a certain tag
I originally asked this question over at stackoverflow with no luck so far so I will cross post it to here if that is okay.
I have found that I cannot seem to be able to locate the posts and I'm thinking I will need to use a custom wp_query loop to locate them but I'm not to sure.
The question.
I'm really struggling at what I am sure is a simple problem. I cannot seem to get the posts which fall under a certain tag to display on that tags page ie: (/tag/blog/) with blog being the Tag.
So far following the Official Tag Templates page on Wordpress I still cannot seem to get it working.
I do not need a heirarchy so tag.php works fine. Using single_tag_title()
it does correctly display the tag at the top of the page.
The rest of the Official Tag Templates does not really give much more detail on wether or not I can use the default Loop or a custom one. I have tried with the custom one as shown below but that does not work. (I've kept it down to the minimum not currently worried about styling.)
<?php get_header(); ?>
<p>Tag: <?php single_tag_title(); ?></p>
<div class="container">
<div id="content" class="clearfix row">
<div id="main" class="col col-lg-8 clearfix blog-page-padding" role="main">
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) :
while ( have_posts() ) :
the_title();
endwhile; // end while
endif; // end if
?>
</div> <!-- end #main -->
<?php get_sidebar('blog'); // Blog ?>
</div> <!-- end #content -->
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
So this code currently does display the title of the Tag but not the title of the posts which I am trying to get out.
To wrap the question up. "How do I display the posts which fall under a certain tag."

in your loop.
So on your line where you have your while
loop, append the_post()
to it like so
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
Try that and see what happens

5,609 PointsNo still not working. Could it be that the tag is used across 2 custom post types?

28,149 PointsNo, that should be fine. But I didn't realize that we were using custom post types. In that case you'll need to run a WP_Query and pass it the names of the custom post types. Than the rest of the loop should function.
