 * here is my code
 *     ```
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       $args=array(
       'cat' => 3,14,
       'posts_per_page' => 9,
       'paged'=>$paged,);
   
       query_posts($args);
       ```
   
 * I need to pull from category 3 and 14 but this does not work. How can I pull 
   from both categories with this syntax?
 * I am stuck with this code since it’s the only way I’ve gotten custom loops to
   paginate properly.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Change that to:
 *     ```
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       $args=array(
       'cat' => array(3,14),
       'posts_per_page' => 9,
       'paged'=>$paged,);
   
       query_posts($args);
       ```
   
 * with “array” and you should see better results.
