showing tag beside catagory

Question

thanks for your guidance, here is one last but not least thing for me to learn,

i am using Today news wordpress theme, since with your help i have moved my process from category to tag based archiving, my theme give me shortcodes to display post list from specific category, like this

[blog1 items=1 cat=op-ed]

here "op-ed" is my category, and it show like this

(add http:// in below links)

s15.postimg.org/g1s8k8cmz/image.jpg

s15.postimg.org/oy30o6397/image.jpg

if you need i can attache the theme files. PS , the goal is to replace category based sorting to tag based like you helped me earlier.

the code that generated this short info is http://pastebin.com/qpLyeSsF

    <?php
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$term = $queried_object->name;
add_shortcode("blog1", "blog_one");



function blog_one($atts, $content) {

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(

        "items" => 4,

        "cat" => null,

        "id" => null,

        "nav" => false,

        "order" => "desc",

        "orderby" => "DATE",

        "events" => null

    ), $atts));

    $order       = strtoupper($order);

    $items_count = 0;

    $items_src   = null;

    if ($id == null) {

        $query          = array(

            'orderby' => $orderby,

            'order' => $order,

            'posts_per_page' => $items,

            'category_name' => $cat

        );

        $wp_query_event = new WP_Query($query);

    }

    $items_src .= '

    while ($wp_query_event->have_posts()):

        $cover    = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'short-one');

        $no_cover = get_template_directory_uri();

        $category = get_the_category();

        }

        $items_src .= '

    endwhile;

    wp_reset_query();

    $items_src .= '

</div><!-- end #short-one -->

';

    return $items_src;

}

let me know if you need any more lead to this culprit

Paste this code along side the code given by you I have not tested the code but it should do the trick...

where you used this [blog1 items=1 cat=op-ed] replace this with this [blogtag items=1 tag=china]

  <?php
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$term = $queried_object->name;
add_shortcode("blogtag", "blog_tag");



function blog_tag($atts, $content) {

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(

        "items" => 4,

        "tag" => null,

        "id" => null,

        "nav" => false,

        "order" => "desc",

        "orderby" => "DATE",

        "events" => null

    ), $atts));

    $order       = strtoupper($order);

    $items_count = 0;

    $items_src   = null;

    if ($id == null) {

        $query          = array(

            'orderby' => $orderby,

            'order' => $order,

            'posts_per_page' => $items,

            'tag' => $tag

        );

        $wp_query_event = new WP_Query($query);

    }

    $items_src .= '

<div id="short-one" class="fixed">';

    while ($wp_query_event->have_posts()):

        $wp_query_event->the_post();

        global $post;

        $image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();

        $cover    = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'short-one');

        $no_cover = get_template_directory_uri();

        $tag      = get_the_tags();

        $vimeo    = get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_vimeo", true);

        $youtube  = get_post_meta($post->ID, "post_youtube", true);
