Show category a, exclude category b

    What is the loop syntax to display posts from category a but exclude posts that are also tagged with category b?
    If I use [loop category=a category=b compare=not] I get the results from [loop category=a,b compare=and]
    If I use [loop category=a,b compare=not] I get the results of [loop category=a,b] which is compare=or.
    It would be very helpful if the category include is specified separately from the category exclude, so each part can contain more than 1 category.

    I believe you can achieve it with the taxonomy parameter:

    [loop taxonomy=category term=a relation=and taxonomy_2=category term_2=b compare_2=not]

    That’s it, thank you!
    It might be helpful if you added an example to the documentation – I saw the description, but wasn’t sure how/where to put the “relation=” and also got confused by the commas, since the shortcodes don’t use commas.
    Great plugin.

    Thanks for confirming that it works. Good idea, I’ll try to think of more examples to include in the documentation.
