Question

Does anyone have an idea of how to get posts that have no comments yet and have specific tags?

I tried

$args = array(
        'tag' => $tags,
        'post__not_in' => array($page_id),
        'showposts'=>5,
        'ignore_sticky_posts'=>1,
        'comment_count' => 0
);

 $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
 if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
          ... the usual stuff here ...
        endwhile;
}

but this gives me also the posts that were already commented even if there’s a “‘comment_count’ => 0” argument! Why? What’s the right solution?

Thanks.

I figured out that after using Wp_Query() you get an object that holds your query … so if you copy paste it into your php code and add a wp_posts.comment_count=0 condition in the WHERE clause it works perfectly!
