Category1 AND Category2

I too am having this same issue:

[ic_add_posts category=’sebastien-hugo’ showposts=’1′]

I do have a question, however… The “post” I am trying to brig into a page – is from a plugin for testimonials. So, I wonder if this only looks to actual posts in the “posts” section of the site?

Hi Paul,

The AND function seems to work with tags but not with categories.

Hope the plugin authors can manage a solution. Have you found something useful?

Hi paulwalker,

I posted a solution to @ysan’s related question that may work for you.

To do something similar with Categories instead of Tags, you’ll want to use the has_category() function instead of the has_tag function.

This changes our if-statement to look like the following. Add this to the top of the template….

<?php if ( has_category('Category1') && has_category('Category2') ) { ?>

… and close with the curly bracket at the bottom of the template….

<?php } //if has Category1 & Category2 ?>

Here’s the full updated template:

<!-- NOTE: If you need to make changes to this file, copy it to your current theme's main
	directory so your changes won't be overwritten when the plugin is upgraded. -->

<?php if ( has_category('Category1') && has_category('Category2') ) { ?>
<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

	<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->
<?php } //if has Category1 & Category2 ?>

Let me know if that helps at all! ??

@jpwilkinson, it looked like your question was going to get into a different topic, so I created a new post to address it.
