Filter multiple categories

Hello,

When you add the category parameter in the shortcode and pass the multiple category ids, then it will show the posts of respective categories.

For eg : if you are using category="1" then plugin will show posts added in category id=1 and if you use category="1,2,3" then plugin will show all posts for category ids = 1,2,3

Hello, thanks for the reply.

With category = "1,2,3" I can filter all the posts that are part of the category 1 or 2 or 3.

I wanted to ask if it was possible to filter only the posts that satisfy the condition of being part of the categories 1 and 2 and 3.

For example.
Post A = category 1,2
Post B = category 1.3
Post C = category 1,2,3

With category = "1,2,3" I see all three posts.

How can I filter only posts that are part of category 1 & 2 at the same time?
I would like the result to show only Post A and Post C

Is it possible?

Hello,

Sorry its not possible or i need to check in deep ??

Hello @darkmaso

Ok i have one solution where you can achieve this. I have made a small change in grid shortcode file the :
blog-designer-pack –> includes –> Shortcodes –> bdp-post.php
Open this file and go to line #90 where i have added a operator=> 'AND'

Here is old code:

if($cat != "") {		
	$args['tax_query'] = array(
		array( 
			'taxonomy' 			=> BDP_CAT,
			'field' 			=> 'term_id',
			'terms' 			=> $cat,									
			));
	}

Here is updated code:

if($cat != "") {		
		$args['tax_query'] = array(
			array( 
				'taxonomy' 			=> BDP_CAT,
				'field' 			=> 'term_id',
				'terms' 			=> $cat,
				'operator'			=> 'AND',									
		));
	}

Hi, I saw your second answer on the email. Here it does not appear.

I can not find the “bdp-post.php” file in the “blog-designer-pack” folder. In fact, inside the plugin folder I do not have “blog-designer-pack”. Maybe because I installed the plugin directly from wordpress?

But I understood the change you made, I think it could be something that you can add to the plugin. I find it very useful to filter categories using logical operators to show specific posts on different pages.

Hello @darkmaso

Can you please share the plugin that you are using with a screenshot (under plugin section)?

Hello,

Here you can find our plugin: https://screenshots.firefox.com/JO0KbdzX7D7UMG13/photos.google.com

I have found that you are using lots of plugins BUT your FTP showing few plugins. Are you accessing right FTP?

Hello @darkmaso

Any update?

Hi, I was working on it … I modified the .php file you indicated to me.
Now I do not know what the correct shorcode is for testing it.

I tried, without success …
category = "1,2"
category = "1&2"
category = "1,&,2"
category = "1"&"2"

Hi, can you help me with the right syntax?

Hi @darkmaso,

Sorry for the delay.

There will be no change in the shortcode and parameter.

You have to pass categories like this comma separated
category="1,2"

So only those post will come which has category assigned 1 and 2.

Kind Regards,

Hello, thanks for the reply. Now I understand, I had made a mistake.

I modified the file you indicated correctly, but then on wordpress I used bdp_post_carousel instead of bdp_post.

With bdp_post it works, but I wanted to use it with the carousel, I tried to copy the same code in the .php of the carousel, in line 108 but in this way the plugin got an error.

Hello,

If you open this file : bdp-recent-post-carousel.php then go to line no : 101 and check the code with if($cat != "") {

Now under this if condition add one more line after 'terms' => $cat ie 'operator' => 'AND'

So complete code will be:

'taxonomy' 			=> BDP_CAT,
'field' 			=> 'term_id',
'terms' 			=> $cat,
'operator'			=> 'AND',
