I am working on a wordpress template page.

i am trying to retrieve a list of topic threads and filtering by tag.

I can get topics without tag filtering by using something like this

$forumargs = array(    'post_type' => 'topic', 'numberposts' => 15 );

$mytopics = new WP_Query( $forumargs );



while ( $mytopics->have_posts() ) : $mytopics->the_post();

the_title();

echo '<div class="entry-content">';

the_content();

echo '</div>';

endwhile;

but when i try to filter by tag , it returns nothing.

$forumargs = array( 'tag'=>'mytagname', 'post_type' => 'topic', 'numberposts' => 15 );

i have seen that there is something called tax_query, but i cannot figure out if i can use that, or how to use it.

how should this work?

You are close. bbPress does not use the tag taxonomy, that is strictly for posts.

You’ll need to use tax_query as you mentioned. This is untested but should give you a general idea

$mytopics_args = array(

'post_type' => 'topic',

'numberposts' => 15,

'tax_query' => array(

array(

'taxonomy' => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(),

'field' => 'slug',

'terms' => 'you-tag-slug'

)

)

);

$mytopics = new WP_Query( $mytopics_args );

thanks jaredatch, that worked perfectly.

i would have never got that taxonomy setting “bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() “

Great, you had most of it figured out though.

That’s totally understandable – I couldn’t remember it off the top of my head either and had to go dig through some code – but that’s the best way to learn
