Hi Mat,

Sorry this took so long to test and respond. I was on another project.

I’m still not sure this is working as I had expected. What I want to do is have 4 categories:
1) Press Page Links
2) Speaking Page Links
3) Left Column
4) Right Column

I want to use these categories as follows:

I want to create a shortcode that would list any links that have “Press Page Links” AND “Left Column” categories assigned to them. These would only appear on the Press Page in a section called “Left Column”. I would also create a second shortcode to select links for a “Right Column” on the Press Page. I also would do something similar for the Speaking page by using the category “Speaking Page Links” and have 2 columns of links using 2 additional shortcodes.

Here’s the shortcode I have been trying to use for the Press Page which would put the links in a block to the left side of the page:

[simple-links description="true" category="Press Page Links, Left Column"]

What I’m seeing is that this is actually OR’ing the 2 categories and not AND’ing them. I also tried this shortcode which I found from an earlier posting which I thought might fix the issue:

[simple-links description = "true" category="Press Page Links,Left Column" both_categories = "1"]

I’m not sure if I missed something in your help text on the Settings page or there’s another way to do this. Your help would be gratefully appreciated. This plugin is pretty handy and will make link maintenance really easy for my authors. I just need the option to AND the categories.

Thanks,
gary
