WordPress category_name array for archive

  • I want to add a 2nd blog to my website, so I want the first blog to only show certain categories. This code will only show catacory ‘fotoblog’:

    $cat = ('fotoblog');

$arguments = wp_parse_args( array(
    'orderby'           => 'date',
'order'             => 'DESC',
'posts_per_page'    => 10,
'paged'             => $paged,
'pagename'          => '', // reset page template to behave like archive
'category_name'     =>  $cat,
'extend'            => true
), $wp_query->query);

    So basically I was trying to use $cat variable as an array. But this isn’t working for me:

    $cat = array ("fotoblog", "name2", "name3");

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Try using category__in argument.

    Im attempting something similar.

    $cat = array WP_Query('category_name='.wp_title());
		$args = array(
		    'post_type' => 'attachment',
		    'category_name' => $cat,
		    'numberposts' => -1,
		    'post_status' => null,
		    'post_parent' => null, // any parent
		    );

			$attachments = get_posts($args);
			if ($attachments) {
			    foreach ($attachments as $post) {
			        // setup_postdata($post);
			        the_attachment_link($post->ID, false);
			        // the_excerpt();
			    }
			}

    I am trying to get media and whittle it down to images for a category based on title.

    So if on the custom post for tony-irvine and media is category tony-irvine it shows only this and not any other media.
