    get_posts() can take the argument tag ='tagname' or category='categoryname'
    but we cant club them together like get_posts(tag ='tagname'&category='categoryname')

    Any ideas to get out of this situation..

    I need to get all posts that have a particular tag and it belongs to a particular category..

    I did a little research on your problem and it seems that there is a workaround... seems to be a well known problem of Wordpress. I can't post links for the moment, so I'll paste you the solution found on the web:

    <?php
    global $post;
    $postsByTag = get_posts('tag=Actualité');
    $postsByCat = get_posts('categorie=6');
    $postsListe = array_intersect ($postsByTag, $postsByCat);
    foreach($postsListe as $post) : ?>
    .....
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    Hope this is of any help! =)
