[Plugin: List category posts] List posts with Two categories

If the plugin doesn’t do that, then get PHP Exec plugin and put something like this in your post/page

<?php
$args=array(
  'category__and' => array(18,19),
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

I am interested on the solution for this issue as well

I would also be grateful if their would be a solution for this problem in list-category-posts

I added a solution for this to list_cat_posts.php

Replace Line 62:
$category = 'cat=' . $atts['id'];

by:

if (strpos($atts['id'],'+')){
	$category = explode('+',$atts['id']);
	$category_criteria = 'category__and';
}else{
	$category = explode(',',$atts['id']);
	$category_criteria = 'category';
}

And replace Line 75:

$catposts = get_posts($category.'&numberposts=' . $atts['numberposts'] .
				'&orderby=' . $atts['orderby'] .
				'&order=' . $atts['order'] .
				'&exclude=' . $atts['excludeposts'] .
				'&tag=' . $atts['tags'] .
				'&offset=' . $atts['offset'] );

by:

$catposts = get_posts(array(
				$category_criteria => $category,
				'numberposts' => $atts['numberposts'],
				'orderby' => $atts['orderby'],
				'order' => $atts['order'],
				'exclude' => $atts['excludeposts'],
				'tag' => $atts['tags'],
				'offset' => $atts['offset'] ));

Hope this helps and finds its way into the official plugin version

Thanks for the reply, I didn’t see it until today, not sure why ! oops.

It works though ?? But not sure I like that PHP Exec plugin. I saved it twice, and the 2nd save stuffed the code. But doing it again fixed it.

I would like to see the original plugin have that facility, as it is easier to use. But then… whatever works in the long run ??

Now I need to work out how to get other bits showing, eg: excerpts, or even special TDOMF custom fields, but this may be getting too technical.

Thanks for what you did, and sorry for not seeing it, and replying earlier.

I tried your idea, but it stuffed up and didn’t show any page with catlist on, after the heading. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.

If you did get it to work, I would love to see your entire list_cat_posts.php to see where I went wrong.

Thanks.

Bump +1.

Integrating this feature would make this great plug-in even better!
