    Hey guys, I’m trying to use query_posts or some other retrieval method to get posts by a certain post name.

    I have a coupon site, and am using the category as the store name, and using the post name as the type of coupon, ie printable, online, etc.

    So on the site when I want to display all of the online coupons, I need to query wordpress for posts with the title ie “online coupons”

    I can query posts by custom fields, author, etc. but I haven’t found the ability to query based on post name. Is this possible or should I do a workaround?

    How about post slug?

    <?php
$post_slug = 'online-coupons';
$args=array(
  'name' => $post_slug,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
