Hello!

I am attempting to use WPSP to filter a custom post type that has both Categories (the area of the organization) and tags (I have a tag for each year: 2020, 2019, etc).

What I would like to do is filter by both the area AND the year, but there is only the option to do either a category or a tag.

Is it possible to configure the shortcode for both a category and a tag?

Thanks!

Hi there,

According to this, you should be able to do this:

[wp_show_posts id="123" settings="category_and=yourcategoryname&tag__in=yourtagname"]

Thanks so much Tom!

Is there anything I should set or not set within the WPSP Options so as not to conflict here? Do I choose anything under the Taxonomy setting or do I leave it blank?

You should be able to leave the blank, the inline settings overwrite the in-Dashboard settings 🙂

I was overthinking it. I just set one of the Taxonomies in the Dashboard settings and used the other in the shortcake. Works great!

Thanks again!

My laptop tries so hard to be helpful, but shortcake is just so far from shortcode.

At least it got the short part right. Glad I could help!
