   Is it possible to create a catlist that only shows posts that are included in two specific categories.

   eg: Instead of [catlist id=18,19 orderby=title order=asc numberposts=-1 Date=no] which shows all posts from either Category 18 or 19, I would like something that only shows posts that are in BOTH category 18 AND 19, maybe something like [catlist id=18+19...

   End result being that if a post is only in either 18 or 19 it will not be shown, but posts that are in both 18 and 19 will be shown.

   If the plugin doesn't do that, then get PHP Exec plugin and put something like this in your post/page
   

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'category__and' => array(18,19),
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   I added a solution for this to list_cat_posts.php

   Replace Line 62:
   $category = 'cat=' . $atts['id'];

   by:
   

   if (strpos($atts['id'],'+')){
   	$category = explode('+',$atts['id']);
   	$category_criteria = 'category__and';
   }else{
   	$category = explode(',',$atts['id']);
   	$category_criteria = 'category';
   }

   And replace Line 75:
   

   $catposts = get_posts($category.'&numberposts=' . $atts['numberposts'] .
   				'&orderby=' . $atts['orderby'] .
   				'&order=' . $atts['order'] .
   				'&exclude=' . $atts['excludeposts'] .
   				'&tag=' . $atts['tags'] .
   				'&offset=' . $atts['offset'] );

   by:
   

   $catposts = get_posts(array(
   				$category_criteria => $category,
   				'numberposts' => $atts['numberposts'],
   				'orderby' => $atts['orderby'],
   				'order' => $atts['order'],
   				'exclude' => $atts['excludeposts'],
   				'tag' => $atts['tags'],
   				'offset' => $atts['offset'] ));

   Hope this helps and finds its way into the official plugin version

   Thanks for the reply, I didn't see it until today, not sure why ! oops.

   It works though :) But not sure I like that PHP Exec plugin. I saved it twice, and the 2nd save stuffed the code. But doing it again fixed it.

   I would like to see the original plugin have that facility, as it is easier to use. But then... whatever works in the long run :)

   Now I need to work out how to get other bits showing, eg: excerpts, or even special TDOMF custom fields, but this may be getting too technical.

   Thanks for what you did, and sorry for not seeing it, and replying earlier.

   I tried your idea, but it stuffed up and didn't show any page with catlist on, after the heading. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.

   If you did get it to work, I would love to see your entire list_cat_posts.php to see where I went wrong.

   Thanks.

   Bump +1.

   Integrating this feature would make this great plug-in even better!
