get_posts for post existing in both Catx AND Caty?

  • I want to have a “Featured” box that will pull the latest post from the “Featured” category that coincides with the current main category (for example “Technology”). As I understand it using get_posts(numberposts=1&category=13,6) will get me the latest posts from either 13 OR 6 but I want to have the latest post that is in both categories.

    How would I go about this?

    get_posts() can also take the parameters that query_posts() can since both functions now use the same database query code internally.

    not tested but try somthing like this:

    $args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => 1,
	'category__and' => array(13,6)
);
$myposts = get_posts($args);
