Code that actually works is posted over at <a href="http://wordpress.pastebin.com/zavDfaqZ">http://wordpress.pastebin.com/zavDfaqZ</a>. bronwyn on "Create post list grouped by tag" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/create-post-list-grouped-by-tag#post-12365 Thu, 13 May 2010 15:40:47 +0000 bronwyn 12365@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ The problem is solved thanks to the kindness of alchymyth over on the Wordpress forums. In case anyone else wants to know how it is done, it goes like this: <code> // get the tag list $taglist = get_terms('post_tag', 'hierarchical=0&orderby=name&hide_empty=1'); // iterate through the tag list foreach ($taglist as $pftag) { //get 2 posts belonging to the tag -- ONLY the slug works to filter by tag query_posts('tag='.$pftag->slug.'&posts_per_page=2&orderby=date');?> // make a linked heading with the tag name <h3><a>slug); ?>"><?php echo($pftag->name); ?></a></h3> // make the actual loop for the posts, which outputs them using a custom action, because I use this format many places <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); purplefrog_excerpt_tile(); endwhile; } </code> bronwyn on "Create post list grouped by tag" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/create-post-list-grouped-by-tag#post-12362 Thu, 13 May 2010 06:35:38 +0000 bronwyn 12362@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I am trying to make a custom loop to do this: Tag Name 1 post 1 post 2 Tag Name 2 post A post B For each tag, I want to have a tag name header (linked to the tag archive page) and then two posts. I have been trying to use this code: <code> $taglist = get_terms('post_tag', 'hierarchical=0&orderby=name&hide_empty=1'); foreach ($taglist as $pftag) { query_posts("tag_id=$pftag->term_ID&posts_per_page=2&orderby=date");?> <h3><?php print_r($pftag->name); ?></h3> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); purplefrog_excerpt_tile(); endwhile; } </code> The posts returned by query_posts are not filtered by tag at all. It just pops up the most recent 2 posts over and over. What am I doing wrong, and why is this so %$#^ing hard? I've been working on this for about 4 hours with very little progress, even though I got the categories version of this working much faster. The print_r for the tag name header is messy, but I haven't found anything else that actually outputs the tag name for *all* entries...
