Posts only in Two specific cats.

  • Hello. I know there is the cat=(5,2) code to show posts in those categories. What I need is something that will only show posts labeled in cat 5 and cat 2.

    Currently the cat=(5,2) code shows any post in cat 5 and cat 2 on the same page.

    Thanks!

  • It’ll look a bit complicated, but you can pass the ‘category__and’ union or method passed through an array, which is briefly noted in the last example here:

    Thanks for the reply. What I gather from the page you linked to is that this is a static thing for the homepage. How would I implement this in the widgets.php category code?

    I have looked through the function wp_widget_categories and cannot figure out where I would place the

    query_posts(array(‘category__and’=>array(1,3),’showposts’=>2,’orderby’=>title,’order’=>DESC));

    Thanks!

    This is the code I am trying to modify at the moment

    <script lang=’javascript’><!–
    j = ‘,8’;
    var dropdown = document.getElementById(“cat”);
    function onCatChange() {
    if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
    location.href = “<?php echo get_option(‘home’);
    ?>/?cat=”+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value+j;
    }
    }
    dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
    –></script>

    The variable j is what I am trying to incorporate the =>array(1,3)from the support post into. Now I know this is javascript but php is being used inside of it. So how do I make the code work to where the value+j works the same as the array (1,3)?
    Thanks.
