I'm using this code to pull the most commented posts from the entire database. I was wondering how I can edit it so that it only pulls posts from a select few categories and not the entire database.
<ul>
<?php
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE post_date_gmt > ".(time()-strtotime('-2 weeks'))." AND post_type = 'post'
ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 5
";
$top_posts = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
foreach ($top_posts as $post) {
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><span><a class="comments" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#comments"><?php echo $post->comment_count; ?> Comments</a>Posted Under: <?php the_category(', '); ?></span></li>
<?
}
?>
</ul>
