get_posts('numberposts=5&category=93+85')get_posts('numberposts=5&category=9385')

Is there a way to have get_posts grab only posts that are in BOTH categories, as above?

Use WP_Query's category__and:

$args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'category__and' => array( 93, 85 )
);

$my_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while( $my_query->have_posts() ):
    $my_query->the_post();
    the_title();
endwhile;

wp_reset_postdata();

Where would that go in a situation like this? <?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=1'); foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?> – Sal Mar 6 at 21:54
it would replace get_posts, see edit above. – Milo Mar 6 at 21:57
Hmm. Perhaps I mislead. I'm trying to only get posts that are in both categories at the same time. Category__and doesn't do that, no? – Sal Mar 6 at 22:09
it does, category__in fetches posts that are in one category OR another, category__and fetches posts that have both categories. – Milo Mar 6 at 22:32
Ah, alright. So now, and I apologize as I'm not too keen on PHP what would I replace this with: <?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=30'); foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?> <?php if ( in_category('1') ) { ?> <?php include('sidebar-reviews_review.php'); ?> <?php } ?> To make it pull posts from categories 30 and 1. – Sal Mar 6 at 22:35
