Use get_posts() with 'post' and 'page' queries at the same time?

Question

I'm trying to grab all posts which are 'posts' and not in category '3' and '5' and which aren't 'pages'. Is this possible to do using one single get_posts()? Because I'm querying both actual posts and pages at the same time...

Answer 1

The get_posts() function only returns one post type at a time. So if you query for 'post_type' => 'post', by default you won't get any Pages returned.

This should work:

<?php
$wpse53292_posts = get_posts( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'exclude'   => array( 3, 5 )
) );
?>
