PHP Variable in WP_Query

  • The blog im working on will be highlighting some items. For every item there will be 3 posts (Story, Blog, Press Release) I want to display them on one page based on the story. The 3 posts will have a unique tag only unique to that item. Ive figured out how to generate that tag based on pulling it from the story. Now i need to get it added to the other queries. The code below works with the tag hard coded in:

    $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=10&tag=uniquetag');
	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
	the_content();
	endwhile;

    but not when used with the php variable

    $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=10&tag='.$myvariable);
	while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
	the_content();
	endwhile;

  • Where/how are you setting up $myvariable?

    this is before the end of the first loop.

    <?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
$count=0;
	if ($posttags) {
	foreach($posttags as $tag) {
		$count++;
	if (1 == $count) {

		$mytag = $tag->name . ' ';

		echo $mytag;
					}
								}
					}

?>
