    Hi, i am trying to list all posts that have two specific categories, namely posts that are in the News and and the featured Category.

    I have the following WP_Query object code in my sidebar.php file, it is listing pages for the archive list of posts for which i want to highlight specific featured posts at the top of the sidebar:

    <ul>
<?php $myPosts = new WP_Query();
$myPosts->query( array('category__and' => array(get_cat_ID( 'featured' ), get_cat_ID(single_cat_title('')) ), showposts => '5' ) );

while ($myPosts->have_posts()) : $myPosts->the_post(); ?>
<li><?php $myPosts->the_title(); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

    Sorry i am new to wp so i am not sure what i am doing wrong, many thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Chris

    <?php
$news_id = get_cat_ID('News');
$featured_id = get_cat_ID('Featured');
$cat_ids = explode(',',$news_id.','.$featured_id);
$args=array(
  'category__and' => $cat_ids,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
