    I would love to know why the results from this query only displays a single post, even though each ID is valid, and using either of the single IDs will display the appropriate post for that ID.

    <?php /* Remove category 5 from Home and Archive page displays */ ?>
<?php
	if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
	global $query_string;
	query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&p=273,225');
	}
?>

    Try

    global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge(
	$wp_query->query,
	array(
		'post__in' => array( 273, 225 ),
		'cat' => '-5'
	)
);
query_posts( $args );

    Thanks Nate: that does work. But now I’m realizing that I needed to use the query string syntax so that I could override a WP plugin (w/ aspo=vanilla):

    query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&p=273,225&aspo=vanilla');

    But for whatever reason only the first ID number is displayed. Arrrgh.

    This won’t work?

    global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge(
    $wp_query->query,
    array(
        'post__in' => array( 273, 225 ),
        'cat' => '-5',
        'aspo' => 'vanilla'
    )
);
query_posts( $args );

    The p argument can only take a single ID.

    Thanks, that explains it. It would have to be handled as an array.
