From the MT 2.0 documentation:



Replace "Foo" and "Bar" with your category names.

uh.. yeah.. i tried that, but it doesn't seem to work...

i'm using this code:

<MTEntries category="General AND Updates">

anything wrong with that?
i'm POSITIVE that all my entries are assigned to the right categories, those categories DO exist, and my HTML is correct...
instead of showing the entries for those 2 categories, it shows no entries at all :-\
please help, thanks

That will list entries assigned to BOTH General and Updates, not those assigned to EITHER of them.

That's noted in the documentation too, right above the code sample.

Try OR instead of AND.

no no no...
i have 3 categories (General, Photography, and Updates)... i want my main page to display all entries from General AND Updates and NO ENTRIES FOR PHOTOGRAPHY...

so... i would use this.....


well... that's what i have... and it doesn't work....
when i load my page... it displays NO ENTRIES AT ALL...

Teehee, oh good, I was getting lost myself there for a minute!!

Is this possible?



I'm wondering if this work in the category archive template...

eh.. this is a tad bit complicated and i'll try and explain it the best i can... here goes...

ok... i have 3 categories (General, Photography, and Updates), and i want to ONLY show General and Updates when you load up my blog main page... not the entries under Photography... is there any way to do this?

thanks for all the help!

haha yanno i remember looking at that... i'm so dumb... thank you! :-p

can this option only be used with the category archive page?

This would show entries that are assigned to both the category General and the category Updates. If you want to show all entries that are in either the General category or the Updates category, you need to use:

...
oh my god.... im sorry hahah OR works perfectly...
i thought you misunderstood what i was asking.... sorry about all that...
thanks for all of the help you guys(and girlies)

We just told you why AND doesn't work, and why OR will work.

Try OR and see what results you get, why don't you?

EDITED TO ADD: wait, I think I get it now!!!!!



You're saying these entries HAVE been assigned to both General and Updates?

Is this possible?



I'm wondering if this work in the category archive template....

No, you can't nest MT tags that way.

P.S. If you find an error in your post, you should be able to use the "edit" button to fix it rather than needing to add a new one.  :D
