How to query posts from categories with specific tags? For Example if I visit "localhost/tag/tutorial" the archive page would show all post from all category with tutorial tag.

But the view would be seperated by category. For example:

Category 1

  • Category 1 Post 1 With tutorial tag
  • Category 1 Post 2 with tutorial tag

Category 2

  • Category 2 Post 2 With tutorial tag
  • Category 2 Post 10 With tutorial tag

NB: The posts show in each categories with same tags.

I have a code that show latest posts in each categories

<?php
        $categories = get_categories();
        foreach($categories as $category) { ?>

        <div class="CategoryPost">
          <h2><?php echo $category->name; ?></h2>
          <ul>
          <?php
            $post_args = array(
              'category' => $category->term_id,
              'numberposts' => 9999,
              'orderby'=> 'post_date',
              'order' => 'ASC',
              'post_type' => 'post'
            );

            $posts = get_posts($post_args);
            foreach($posts as $post) { ?>
              <li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><span><?php the_time('d M Y') ?></span> <i class="Seperate">&raquo;</i> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
            </ul>
          </div>
        <?php }
        wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

The code above would show latest posts in each category with this look.

Category 1 Name

  • Category 1 Post 1
  • Category 1 Post 2

Category 2 Name

  • Category 1 Post 1
  • Category 1 Post 2

Category 3 Name

  • Category 1 Post 1
  • Category 1 Post 2

I would like to make a tags archive that work with that template and the posts would be shown in each categories even the posts have the same tags.

  • overall it looks same, but its looks like the answer from there is to show posts in every category (including main category or sub category). His first code actually works fine but he found a problem that posts with same category show twice (duplicate) which is he want to only show once and not duplicate. For my problem is I want to show posts with same tags (For example: tutorial) and seperate in category. If category 1 and 2 have a posts with tags tutorial it would be shown the post but seperated in their own category

  • By making minor tweaks in the code you can use this for your purpose. As, much as I know you have to change the taxonomy only. Rest is up-to you.

  • Yup. I think that if I there's 1 more foreach for tags before posts it would be work. But I dont know how to add the query. Honestly its my first time playing with query on wordpress. So I dont know what to do.

  • What I want is category 1 show all post but only a post with tutorial tag. It would be work in category 2 and 3 or more category if the post have tutorial tag.

This will help to get the category post on tag archive page. Let me know.

<?php       

        $current_tag = single_tag_title( $prefix = '', $display = false );
        $categories = get_categories( array('hide_empty' => TRUE) );
        foreach($categories as $category) { ?>
        <?php
            $args=array(
                'posts_per_page' => -1, 
                'tag' => $current_tag,
                'cat' => $category->term_id,
            );

            $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

            if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                ?>
                <div class="CategoryPost">
                    <h2><?php echo "Tag: " . $current_tag; ?></h2>
              <h2><?php echo "Category: " . $category->name; ?></h2>
              <ul>
              <?php
                echo '<ul>';
                while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                    $the_query->the_post();
                    echo '<li>Post title: ' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
                }
                echo '</ul></ul></div><br>';
            } 
            ?>

        <?php } 
        wp_reset_postdata();

Please try this one and let me know if it helps.

<?php
        $categories = get_categories( array('hide_empty' => TRUE) );
    foreach($categories as $category) { ?>
    <?php
        $args=array(
            'posts_per_page' => -1, 
            'tag' => 'tutorial',
            'cat' => $category->term_id,
        );

        $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

        if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            ?>
            <div class="CategoryPost">
          <h2><?php echo $category->name; ?></h2>
          <ul>
          <?php
            echo '<ul>';
            while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                $the_query->the_post();
                echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
            }
            echo '</ul></ul></div>';
        } 
        ?>

    <?php }
    wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

P.S. I have just printed the post title. If this works for you, please add other parameters to print as well.

Thanks

EDIT: to display for all tags.

   <?php 
        $tags_array = get_tags();
        $categories = get_categories( array('hide_empty' => TRUE) );
        foreach($tags_array as $tag){
        foreach($categories as $category) { ?>
        <?php
            $args=array(
                'posts_per_page' => -1, 
                'tag_id' => $tag->term_id,
                'cat' => $category->term_id,
            );

            $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

            if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                ?>
                <div class="CategoryPost">
                    <h2><?php echo "Tag: " . $tag->name; ?></h2>
              <h2><?php echo "Category: " . $category->name; ?></h2>
              <ul>
              <?php
                echo '<ul>';
                while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                    $the_query->the_post();
                    echo '<li>Post title: ' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
                }
                echo '</ul></ul></div><br>';
            } 
            ?>

        <?php } }
        wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

  • Thanks! The code is working exactly like i want but If theres a category without the post. The Category name still showing. Here the screenshots: prntscr.com/gvh99f. But is it a option that the code would working on all tags? I mean the 'tag' => 'tutorial', can be change to make it work on all tags?

  • change the first line to $categories = get_categories( 'hide_empty' => true ); As you looped through all categories, you can loop through all tags using get_tags() function. Hope this helps.

@GaroPpo Here, is tweaked code which I suggested to you. I hope this will full-fill you requirement.

<?php
    $tag_id = array(12, 13, 14);
    $taxonomy = 'testimonial-category';
    $postType = 'testimonial';
    $terms = get_terms(['taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'orderby' => 'term_id', 'hide_empty' => true]);
?> <div class="add-accordion"> <?php
    foreach($terms as $term){
        if($term->parent == 0){
            echo '<h3>' . $term->name . '</h3>';
            continue;
        }  $posts = get_posts(array('post_status' =>'publish','post_type' => $postType, 'tag__in' => $tag_id,
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
                    'field' => 'term_id',
                    'terms' => $term->term_id,
                ),));
        ?>
        <div class="add-accordion">
            <h3><?php echo $term->name ?></h3>
            <div class="add-accordion">
                <?php foreach($posts as $post){ ?>
                    <h3><?php echo $post->post_title ?></h3>
                    <div class="">
                        <?php echo get_the_content($post->ID) ?>
                    </div>
                <?php } ?>
            </div>
        </div>
        <?php
    }
?>
