    Dear Dennis

    I am very impressed by your description of the plugin and keen to put it to work immediately!!

    I want to use it to search for and display relevant quotes. Each quote will be stored on its own lexicon page. The search will be controlled by selecting multiple tags. However, I need the results to be both selected and displayed on individual pages within Projects By Woothemes.

    1. Will the plugin display selected quotes in-line on an individual Projects page?
    2. Is it possible to search the lexicon from the Projects page using multiple tags to narrow down the selection?
    3. Is it possible to set default tags on the project page?
    4. Are other plugins needed to display both the tags and the results in the main body of the Projects page instead of the sidebar?

    I very much hope you are able to help me get to the bottom of this.

    Very best wishes

    The plugin can do all of this but your theme needs to support that. Your questions sounds a little bit like to do not understand the difference between themes and plugins correctly. Only your theme can display elements on several places on your website. This plugin does not change any of your theme templates or adds any front-end components anywhere.

    Dear Dennis

    Thank you very much for your response.

    For your information I am using Woothemes Canvas and now understand that I need to resolve the display issues there.

    The parts of my original questions that I still can not resolve however are:

    1. Is it possible to search lexicon entries by selecting multiple tags to narrow down the selection? The desired outcome is to alter the list of lexicon entries that are displayed as tags are selected and deselected by the user.

    2. Is it possible to select tags prior to a user making their own selections? The desired outcome is that some lexicon entries are displayed prior to the users own selection. For example a page concerned with PARTICLES lists all entries tagged <particles> by defualt but requires the user to then select the <nano> tag to narrow the displayed entries further.

    I have now downloaded the plugin but can not see how this functionality is supported.

    I do appreciate the input you have already made but hope you can help me clarify these issues a little more.

    Thank you and very best wishes

    Hi Ric, Of course you can query encyclopedia terms by their taxonomies (categories, tags, etc). Please take an eye on the WP_Query documentation.
