   In my sidebar I am trying to retrieve a list of posts from a certain category with query_posts.

   $query = "cat=5&showposts=3";
   $posts = query_posts($query);

   This is working well except for posts that are assigned to more than one category.

   For example:
   Post a,b,c are in category 5 and post d is in category 4 and 5.
   Now my query doesn't return post d.

   Is there a way to make this work?

   By the way these posts with multiple categories do get displayed when queried in the normal loop for example when I use http://www.domainname.com/?cat=5

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'category__in' => array(4,5),
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     echo 'List of Posts';
     while ($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().
   ?>

   For posts that belong to category 4 and 5 only see category__and parameter

   showposts=3

   if your post d with cat=4,5 is number four in the list, it will not show.
