Title: Posts shortcode: IN, NOT_IN, AND Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Posts shortcode: IN, NOT_IN, AND * [epic_serj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epic_serj/) * (@epic_serj) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-shortcode-in-not_in-and/) * Hello! I can’t understand one thing about filter in posts shorcode. I need to show all posts that have both “tag_1” and “tag_2”. I choose tags, then choose taxonomy operator “AND”. [https://yadi.sk/i/XwGAGgTWkSDUp](https://yadi.sk/i/XwGAGgTWkSDUp) The result shortcode is: `[su_posts posts_per_page="-1" taxonomy="post_tag" tax_term ="568,158" tax_operator="2"]` But in fact it displays the posts with any of chosen tags (works like IN) I tried to change tax_operator to 1|0 (NOT_IN, IN) and it returned same result — same posts list with any tax_operator value. Either I don’t get the meaning of NOT_IN, IN, AND (it’s possible 🙂 or this functions doesn’t work. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [bhofmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhofmann/) * (@bhofmann) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-shortcode-in-not_in-and/#post-6746637) * I found the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved? * Thread Starter [epic_serj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epic_serj/) * (@epic_serj) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-shortcode-in-not_in-and/#post-6746638) * No, still haven’t. I also encountered another strange bug about su_post. If I get the post that is sheduled for future via ID, the shortcode returns nothing even after the sheduled post is published. I can even get the post via other calls (by tag, for example), but ID becomes unreachable. * [ExEquoVD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/exequovd/) * (@exequovd) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-shortcode-in-not_in-and/#post-6746645) * Hope someone has the answer soon.

I contacted the developer. The bug is about generating the shorcode text and it will be fixed in future version. Temporary solution is to change generated shortcode text. Just fix text `[su_posts posts_per_page="-1" taxonomy ="post_tag" tax_term="568,158" tax_operator="2"]` to `[su_posts posts_per_page ="-1" taxonomy="post_tag" tax_term="568,158" tax_operator="AND"]` and it should work.
