# query with multiple custom fields

 * I am trying to use a wp_query with multiple custom field key/value pairs. From
   the results I get it seems that only one key/value pair is actually being used
   in the query. for example, with the argument:
    meta_key=post_group_head&meta_value
   =no&meta_key=post_group&meta_value=test I would have expected to only retrieve
   posts with post_group_head=no AND post_group=test. However, what I actually receive
   is posts with post_group=test and no filtering based on post_group_head.
 * Is this expected? is there a way around it?
    Thanks, joe

 * The code I showed in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/404512?replies=7)
   may help.
