cat and tag

  • Shortcode supports cat=”” and tag=”” where tag =”hello” will snag only posts having the tag hello? Is that correct? I have been unable to make it work.

    [rpwe limit=”50″ tag=”2012″ excerpt=”true” length=”30″ thumb=”” thumb_default=”” date=””]

    Adding tag=”2012″ into that line not only doesn’t snag the two posts with that tag, but reports no posts at all.

    Alternatively, is there a shortcode argument that will pick up just those posts published in 2012?

    In the post menu under tag you will see all of your available tags listed. This plugin was set up to use the ID # instead of just the normal human read tag we’d typically use with some plugins.

    If you hover over your 2012 tag in the list for a few seconds you will see in the left hand side of your browser a URL will appear. In that URL you will find a ID # for that tag or category. This is the number you need to use within your shortcode cat=”#” or tag=”#”

    Hope that helps

    Terri—thanks for the hint. I need to root around and find my project_tag in the URL by editing the tag in the /project/tag page. Then project_tag=number worked for me.
