Display all posts of current viewing tag

Question

I'm having problems getting all related posts of the current viewing tag. Does anyone know how you can do this dynamic? I want to create a own kind of 'archive' page for this.

Answer 1

Ok .. after searching for a while I figured out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't including custom post types in the loop. I ended up constantly with 'not found'.

Whats the solution:

query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'blog', 'showposts' => 3, 'orderby' => 'rand') );  if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

And it queues all posts with the current viewing tag!

Special thanks to Sven and Kaiser!

Answer 2

Simply use a tag archive for that.

You can grab a term/taxon, then display a link to its archive using get_tag_link().

As you can see from the Template Hierarchy Diagram, there're the following tempalte names, that will trigger (in hierarchical & parent/child theme) order:

• tag-{$slug}.php
• tag-{$id}.php
• tag.php
• archive.php

There you will have - depending on your URl/Route - the posts available and can proceed them using a plain loop, like the one you can see in the codex. All filters are available, as well as well as all filters like pre_get_posts, etc. and Conditional Tags like is_tag() that will determine if you're on a tag archive.

You can use the default get_posts() function from WordPress with taxonomy parameter.
