 * Hi:
 * I am a bit curious how this is supposed to work.
 * CPT = books
    Taxonomies = genre and city
 * When I try to filter by two taxonomies is it “and” or “or”
 * For instance if I try to filter by:
 * genre = non-fiction (which has 10 books)
    city = cleveland (which has 0 books)
 * I get a result which displays 10 results…
 * This seems to indicate the results are based on an “or” operator.
    Like, display
   result if genre/non-fiction “or” city/cleveland has posts.
 * What I am really trying to do is get:
 * Display result where genre is non-fiction “and” city is “cleveland”.
 * Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 * Hi Marcello,
 * That’s strange because “and” is the operator which should be applied.
    For all
   sites I’ve used BTF on that’s how it’s been working and since it’s in WP core
   the logic happens it shouldn’t even matter if BTF is active or not (Except you
   would not get the pretty permalinks).
 * Maybe you have a plugin or your theme that’s messing with this? If possible could
   you try deactivating the other plugins and switch to twentyfifteen.
