   I was looking for this days. Cant find how to do it in WP.

   I want - in short - the funcionality of COUNTRY SELECT FORM on groupon.com.

   Which mean, when i set once a type of posts what I want to show, then it will show only POSTS. And the parametr WILL STAY until i will change it again.

   My idea was to solve it like posts will have classic categories, and tags will be COUNTRIES. When I set country(tag), and I will browse categories, it will show just posts with category&tag match. Problem is, that tag dont stay "checked" and I also cant mix it in URL(which would solve it).

   Any idea, or better solution how to make this?

   Thanks

   I'm not sure but it sounds like you want to display posts which have a common tag, and are in one category? Is it for a search or to display on a page or as a list?

   Could be this way.. But I am not sure if I can do this:

   1. I will choose country
   http://www.url.com/tag1/
   2. I will click on category
   http://www.url.com/tag1/category1
   3. I will click on other category (see? tag dont change)
   http://www.url.com/tag1/category2

   And also I dont know if there is way to filter by category and tag at the same time.

   Maybe better explanation is to imagine it like a multilanguage site. You click another language
   http://www.url.com/en/category1
   Categories are still same, but showing something different. Language dont change until you do it again.

   Thanks that will help. But additional a find out that solution what i was looking for was using sessions. (with filtering tags u send me.

   if (isset($_GET['variable'])) {
   $some_variable= $_GET['variable'];
   $_SESSION['variable'] = $some_variable;
   }

   with use of form, sending GET.

   I have been searching for a solution to this for days, I want to achieve this on my website. But I haven't quite followed. Where does this code go?

   Please help! Thank you.

   I'm not sure I was ever 100% on the goal. Do you just want to filter by both category and tag?

   Yeah - I need countries and then types (like deals, offers)...

    the code I posted gets all tags in a selected category, without duplicates. It would have to be modded to grab a specific tag or tags. I wouldn't expect it to be too difficult but my php has gone from bad to worse, out of practice. I'll post if I have a chance to play with it.

    codewise, what you need should be much simpler than what my previous code does:
    

    <?php query_posts( 'category=10&tag=deals' );
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    	echo '<li>';
    	the_title();
    	echo '</li>';
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
    ?>

    Of course you can change the_title to the_excerpt or the_content.
