 * Hi, I’m trying to set up a query with “category__and”, because I need the popular
   post just if the are into two specifics categories, please any help is welcome.

    thumbnail_height=80& title_length=40& category__and=”.
   $catID.”,”.$othercatID.”&… [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/)

 * Hi there,
 * Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t offer this kind of functionality. WPP’s `cat`
   filter -as you already know- works pretty much the same way as the [`category__in` parameter](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters)
   from the WP Query class.
 * The only thing I can suggest as a workaround is to assign a third category to
   these posts and use its ID instead of the other two.

 * Well, thanks for reply so fast, unfortunately I can’t do the third category, 
   thanks anyway, you plugin is great.

 * I’ll consider adding this feature on a future release. No promises though 😛
