 * Hola!
 * I’ve been trying to generate a query_post call to get a list of posts that have
   2 or more meta_values, but it’s been impossible.
 * Basically, let’s say that all posts have a custom field called “age”.. and I 
   want to get (using query_posts function) all posts which have age=22 and age=
   25.
 * I’ve tried:
    query_posts(‘meta_key=age&meta_value=22&meta_key=age&meta_value=
   25’) query_posts(‘meta_key=age&meta_value=22&meta_value=25’)
 * but, obviously, I’ve got no success… Anyone knows how to solve this?

 * Can’t do that with the [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags),
   [query_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts), custom
   field paramters.
 * You’d have to get all posts with a meta_key=age then filter (if test) in your
   [Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop).
 * Our build a custom query that did that but that’s more complicated. Ref: [Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query)

 * Gracias! It’s easier, faster and simplier to adjust my blog to query_post() schema
   instead of diving into mySQL.
