   Hi, I am using the following code in a page template to show a particular category on a page. I would like to add a second category to this page template, so that posts from both will display on the page. How would I do so?

   <?php
   // page id 364 video & audio will get category ID 39 video posts and 52 audio posts
   if (is_page('364') ) {
   $cat = array(39);
   }
   
   $showposts = -1; // -1 shows all posts
   $do_not_show_stickies = 1; // 0 to show stickies
   $args=array(
      'category__in' => $cat,
      'showposts' => $showposts,
      'caller_get_posts' => $do_not_show_stickies
      );
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args); 
   
   ?>
   
   	<?php if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
   
   		<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   			<?php
   			//necessary to show the tags
   			global $wp_query;
   			$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
   			?>

   Thanks!

   Clarification: the comment there is what I want the code to do, there is no reference to category 52 audio posts in the code - that's what I need.

   // page id 364 video & audio will get category ID 39 video posts and 52 audio posts

   Might be easier to use a new wp_query. This will show the latest post from mycategory; change showposts to another number or -1 to show all, and can be used mutliple times on a page, and works inside the original WP loop. Wrap it in a if statement if you only want it to show on that particular page 364.

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=mycategory&showposts=1'); ?>
   <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
   <?php the_title(); ?></a><br /><?php the_content(); ?><?php endwhile; ?>
