Multiple taxonomy query not working

    Hi there,

    I added a taxonomy to pages using CPT UI (‘page-categories’). I have the following loop:

    $args = array(
	'post_type'=> array('post','page'),
	'showposts' =>5,
	'post_status'=>'publish',
	'tax_query' => array(
      'relation' => 'OR',

	    array(
			 'taxonomy' => 'category',
			 'field' => 'id',
			 'terms' => array(118)
		  ),

		  array (
			 'taxonomy' => 'page-categories',
			 'field' => 'id',
			 'terms' => array(148)
		  )
   	   )
	);

	query_posts($args);

    The first array inside of ‘tax_query’ is querying the posts with a particular ID, the second, the pages with a particular ID. For whatever reason, it’s not loading both taxonomies even though a post exists for each. If I remove the post array, the page array shows. However, if I leave it like it is (above), the pages never show. Any thoughts here?

    I would first recommend against using query_posts() to handle this, for performance reasons and the fact that it modifies the original $wp_query for the pageload.

    A better alternative would be using the pre_get_posts hook to modify what will be queried, before the query is actually made.

    That said, I’m curious what the resulting MySQL query string is with what you have above, and why it may be failing.
