# query_posts & multiple categories

 * Hi, so on the home page of a website I’m currently working on I am trying to 
   display posts in that are in multiple categories on the homepage. I’m trying 
   to display posts in categories 8, 4, 3 and also display posts just in category
   6.
 * Here is my current query:
    <?php query_posts(array(‘category__and’=>array(8,4,3)));?
   >
 * It was originally:
    <?php query_posts(array(‘category__and’=>array(8,4,3)&array(
   6))); ?>
 * But that just screwed it up and displayed all categories.
 * The reason I’m trying to do this is because I on the website I’m working on [http://www.w-lbaseball.org](http://www.w-lbaseball.org)
   there are posts in categories: Announcements, Games, and Schedule. But there 
   are some posts that are only located in only ‘Games’ & ‘Schedule’, these posts
   have no content but have custom fields used to display info on the scheduling
   page and the sidebar. I don’t want them to show up on the homepage unless there
   in the category ‘Announcements’ also. The news category is a separate category
   that I want to use strictly to display any current news but not be require to
   be in any of the three other categories.
 * Any assistance with this dilemma is very much appreciated.
