    Hi guys,

    I’m sure that there is a really simple answer, but I can not seem to find the correct one.

    Imagine I have 3 categories and I would like to get the number only for the posts which apply to cat 1 and 2 at the same time.

    How do I do it?

    My code is:

    <?php
$mycats=get_categories ('include=1');
echo 'de'. $mycats[0]->category_count;
?>

    It should not display the number of posts of cat 1 and cat 2, but only of the ones which are in 1 AND 2 all together.

    Help is very much appreciated!

  • Try a WP_Query:

    $count_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'fields'         => 'ids',
    'tax_query'      => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'category',
            'terms'    => array( 1 ),
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'category',
            'terms'    => array( 2 ),
        ),
    )
) );

echo $count_query->post_count;
