 * Hi there
 * Great plugin BTW, just one problem…
 * I have 3 categories (cat1, cat2, cat3)
 * I have created a post for each category. When i check one of the categories it
   works as it should and displays the one post from that category. Problem is when
   i select 2 categories it then doesn’t show any posts, but it should show all 
   posts from both categories that are selected.
 * I noticed when i put a post into 2 different categories and select them both 
   then the post will show up but that’s only if the post is in all the categories
   selected
 * Am i missing something? Apart from that this seems great and exactly what i need.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
 * Danny

 * Hey martisim
 * I think what is happening is that you want an OR relationship instead of an AND
   relationship
 * So I think what it is doing is showing results that have BOTH categories, not
   EITHER category like you want.
 * The pro version has this as a configurable option.
 * Thanks
