It is correct behavior. And the reason for this problem is pretty simple…
When you use tag param in WP_Query, then it searches for tags with given slug (string used in URLs) – so there should be no spaces. There are 7 parameters for slug searching in WP_Query:
- tag (string) – use tag slug.
- tag_id (int) – use tag id.
- tag__and (array) – use tag ids.
- tag__in (array) – use tag ids.
- tag__not_in (array) – use tag ids.
- tag_slug__and (array) – use tag slugs.
- tag_slug__in (array) – use tag slugs.
As you can see none of above takes name as value.
If you want to search for tag name, then you should use tax_query:
...
'tax_query' => array(
array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'name', 'terms' => $value )
)
