 * I can not get the short code to work
 * From the plugin description is says to use:
    “[posts-by-tag tags = “tag1, tag2″][/
   posts-by-tag]”
 * That only displays
    “[/posts-by-tag]”
 * on my page.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks. Great plugin.

 * yes. I have this problem too. I delete [/posts-by-tag] and remain [posts-by-tag
   tags = “tag1, tag2”]. it work!
    but another question: in use short code in post,
   it’s possible to show excerpt or thumb?

 * I find my answer:
    use this: [posts-by-tag tags = “tag1, tag2” number = “5” excerpt
   = “true” thumbnail = “false” order_by = “date” order = “desc” author = “false”][/
   posts-by-tag]
 * I find it in plugin page:
