category__and not working after 3.1 update

Noticed the same when trying to use a custom function to remove posts from categories from showing up in the post output. It broke after the recent upgrade.

Boyevul i think your problem is related to category exclusions that is described here https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/16622 and fixed here https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/hotfix/

good luck ??

my issue still outstanding though!

This issue is being dealt with here – https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/16730

I updated my query to the following code:

$mapSearchQajs['tax_query'] = array(
   array(
      'taxonomy' => 'category',
      'terms' => array($_GET['neighbourhood']),
      'field' => 'id',
   ),
   array(
      'taxonomy' => 'category',
      'terms' => array($_GET['venueType']),
      'field' => 'id',
   ),
   'posts_per_page' => -1
);

query_posts($mapSearchQajs);

using the excellent advice at https://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-1-advanced-taxonomy-queries/

This resolved the issue for me.

Notice that ‘category__and’ doesn’t include posts assigned to children categories (neither in WP 3.1 or in WP 3.0), while the tax_query you’re currently using does.

Does this have any relevance in your case?

Also, does this work:

$mapSearchQajs['tax_query'] = array(
   array(
      'taxonomy' => 'category',
      'terms' => array($_GET['neighbourhood'], $_GET['venueType']),
      'field' => 'id',
      'operator' => 'AND'
   )
);

query_posts($mapSearchQajs);

PS: I already mentioned that ‘posts_per_page’ doesn’t have any effect there:

Thanks – I fixed the ‘posts_per_page’, although strangely it was outputting all results when located there as well.

The alternative code you provided did not produce the expected results. It produced many fewer or no results compared to the other tax_query code.

The child category issue shouldn’t apply here – and the original query successfully used category__and on 3.0.5

In the tax_query part I am wanting to limit both of the arrays to only show posts with a certain tag but am not able to do so. Outside of that it all works. I have started a new post here if you would like to view the code that I have been struggling with. Thought that since you had experience with this code that you gentlemen would have insight on where to start or how to solve. Thanks for the time!
