   I am using page category plus to categorize my wordpress pages. I have 18 pages, each categorized as a different food, e.g. oranges.
   Using the plugin, I am able to use get_the_category(); from each of my product pages. I was planning to use that value to generate a link on each page to recipes that contain that product using $category[0]->cat_nicename and passing that value to href.

   A small complication, however, is that "recipes with oranges" needs to link to a page with posts categorized as both "oranges" (id 14) and "recipes" (id 4). I was trying to see if both categories could be passed to the url - either by using the url structure itself (e.g. .../recepes/oranges) as suggested hereor by specifying the categories with php ( e.g. ?cat=4,14) but neither of those work.

   One strange thing I noticed is that *any* url that starts with "http://protogeo.info/wordpress_v2/" and ends with "arroz_valencia" (a category slug) will list posts in that category:
   http://protogeo.info/wordpress_v2/category/arroz_valencia
   http://protogeo.info/wordpress_v2/arroz_valencia
   http://protogeo.info/wordpress_v2/pig-latin-google-breath/arroz_valencia

   Is this an anomaly of k2? Any ideas on an approach to my problem
   would be ultra appreciated ;-).

   I still have no idea what was/is wrong with those paths, but I was able to solve my problem by creating a search results template page that gets variables from the product page to determine which posts to display.
