 * Hi guys,
 * I’m stuck on an issue. I have a custom post type called “mediaroom”. I have created
   a custom taxonomy called “mediaroomcategory”. It has two slugs: “news” and “press-
   release”.
    I have tagged as “news” some entires in “mediaroom”.
 *     ```
       The following query returns correctly the "mediaroom" entries:
       $q = new WP_Query( 'post_type=mediaroom');
   
       This one doesn't work:
       $q = new WP_Query( 'post_type=mediaroom&mediaroomcategory=news');
       ```
   
 * The custom post type and taxonomies have been created using Pods…
 * Thanks for your help
 * Ben

 * Hey Ben,
 * Please see
    [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2376348/difference-between-and-in-php](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2376348/difference-between-and-in-php)
 * You would need to use && not &.
 * BUT this may still not work. I would try args:
 * Example from
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters)
 *     ```
       $args = array(
       	'post_type' => 'post',
       	'tax_query' => array(
       		array(
       			'taxonomy' => 'people',
       			'field'    => 'slug',
       			'terms'    => 'bob',
       		),
       	),
       );
       $query = new WP_Query( $args );
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps 🙂
