 * I am having trouble using the category__and parameter within query_posts() and
   am looking for some help with my code. The template I’m editing is category.php(
   based on archive.php). Here is what I have so far.
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       	get_header();
   
       	query_posts(array('showposts' => 1, 'category__and' => array(2,6)));
   
       	if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
       		  <?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
       		  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
       		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for the ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’ Category</h2>
       		  <?php } ?>
       		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       			<div <?php post_class() ?>>
       				<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>""><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
       				<?php the_content() ?>
       			</div>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       	<?php else :
       		printf("<h2 class='center'>Sorry, but there aren't any posts in the %s category yet.</h2>", single_cat_title('',false));
       		get_search_form();
       	endif;
   
       	get_sidebar();
       	get_footer(); 
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Instead of seeing the one post that is part of both category 2 and 6, I see “
   Sorry, but there aren’t any posts in the category yet.”

 * Nevermind… my post wasn’t in category 6 and it was working as written.
