Limit to taxonomy: problem I had and how i fixed it

Hi! Thanks for this fantastic plugin.

My site uses custom taxonomies instead of categories, and so it took me awhile to figure out that I would not be able to filter posts using the “Limit to category” or “Limit to tag” options. When I tried to use the “Limit to Taxonomy” option, I also could not figure it out.

For example, I have a custom taxonomy called “topics”, and let’s say I wanted to only show posts with the tag within topics called “updates”.

It turns out that what I need to do is:

– Find the tag_ID number for “updates”. You’ll need to go in your admin dashboard to edit that tag, and study the URL carefully to find the number, e.g. “&tag_ID=123”

– Now, in the “Limit to Taxonomy” box, you would enter:

topics=123

I hope this example helps someone else who was struggling with this.

It would be good to clarify the text under that “Limit to Taxonomy” box a bit, so that it shows a clear example like this.

Thanks again for the awesome plugin!
