 * I need to select posts that belong in TWO categories.
    How do I add “category__and”
   into this code? Please help!
 *     ```
       function excerptlist_func($atts) {
       	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
       		'titleonly' => 'n',
       		'cat' => '',
       		'num' => 5,
       		'offset' => '',
       	), $atts));
   
       	$args = array('posts_per_page' => $num, 'offset' => $offset );
       	$id = get_cat_id($cat);
       	$args['cat'] = $id;
   
       	$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
               $posts = array();
               foreach($loop->posts as $p) { $posts[] = $p; }
       	global $post;
       	$opost = $post;
       	ob_start();
       ```

    Exclude post from a category would help also 🙂 Please help!
