Query Entries by Tag

Question

I want to only show entries that match a specific tag. I'm trying to do something like:

{% paginate craft.entries.section('blog').relatedTo('tagName').order('score') as entriesOnPage %}

This doesn't seem to net any results though. Is .relatedTo() not the way to go when limiting results to a specific tag?

Answer 1

You'd need to get the tag model first.

{% set tag = craft.tags.search('My Tag').first() %}
{% if tag %}
    {% set entries = craft.entries.relatedTo(tag) %}
{% endif %}

Replace search with whatever other information you have from the tag, to get more precise results, e.g., slug, id properties.
