    Hi!

    Great plugin collection. I am especially thrilled about the Post Carousel.

    I wonder if you could give me a hint how to use the “Additional query arguments” field. I want to show post that belong to category 2 AND 6 (for instance). The standard behaviour seems to be OR. Can I enter this in the Additional query arguments field, or?

    
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'category__and' => array( 2, 6 ) ) );

    I had a bad experience adding something to a widget that broke my site totally, having to dive deep into the DB with Phpmyadmin. 🙂

    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Best regards

    The default behavior of Taxonomies field is OR – that’s right. Unfortunately there is no way to specify an AND with additional query arguments as well. A query argument like cat=4&cat=5 can be used but that behaves exactly like OR.

    One solution I can think of is to target these posts by specifying the posts manually in Post in.

    Other way is to have a wordpress filter on ‘siteorigin_widgets_posts_selector_query’ in your theme. You can modify the query passed to you in the filter to have the query above provided by you.

    I’ll have to work around it then with more than one instance of the Post Carousel. Not much of a programmer (yet). Thanks anyways!
