   I would love to know why the results from this query only displays a single post, even though each ID is valid, and using either of the single IDs will display the appropriate post for that ID.

   <?php /* Remove category 5 from Home and Archive page displays */ ?>
   <?php
   	if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
   	global $query_string;
   	query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&p=273,225');
   	}
   ?>

   Try
   

   global $wp_query;
   $args = array_merge(
   	$wp_query->query,
   	array(
   		'post__in' => array( 273, 225 ),
   		'cat' => '-5'
   	)
   );
   query_posts( $args );

   Thanks Nate: that does work. But now I'm realizing that I needed to use the query string syntax so that I could override a WP plugin (w/ aspo=vanilla):

   query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&p=273,225&aspo=vanilla');

   But for whatever reason only the first ID number is displayed. Arrrgh.

   This won't work?

   global $wp_query;
   $args = array_merge(
       $wp_query->query,
       array(
           'post__in' => array( 273, 225 ),
           'cat' => '-5',
           'aspo' => 'vanilla'
       )
   );
   query_posts( $args );

   The p argument can only take a single ID.

   Thanks, that explains it. It would have to be handled as an array.
