    So, I got it to work! thank you for ALL your help. (because I hate it when people don’t post their solutions, the code I used is below.)

    <div id="video_archive">
	<h4>Featured Videos</h4>
	<?php $page_title = get_the_title();
		$page_title = str_replace(" ", "_", $page_title);
	?>
	<?php
		query_posts('category_name=' . $page_title . '&tag=Video+video&showposts=-1$orderby=date');
		if (have_posts()) {
			echo '<ul class="list-cat">';
			while (have_posts()) { the_post();
	?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
	?php
			} // end while loop
			echo '</ul>';
		} // end if
		wp_reset_query();
	?>
</div>
<div id="photo_archive">
	<h4>Featured Photos</h4>
	<?php
		query_posts('category_name=' . $page_title . '&tag=Gallery+gallery&showposts=-1$orderby=date');
		if (have_posts()) {
			echo '<ul class="list-cat">';
			while (have_posts()) { the_post();
		?>
		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
		<?php
			} // end while loop
			echo '</ul>';
		} // end if
		wp_reset_query();
		?>
</div>

    still no dice… What I may end up doing is just doing a separate template page for each speaker profile. this will be more reliable I believe.

    I am going to work on that for a bit to get it to work… my only question is: will my filters work with 2 different categories like that? (where I am looking to compare 2 DIFFERENT categories in the same query statement?

    get_posts() didnt work, but I saw that it should be $category_name=… rather than just category_name=

    I changed that, and it returned all results that are filed under that type (video or photo posts) but did not filter by the category_name (presenters name.)

    Do you think the problem could lie with the ‘title_li’ part?

    thanks,
    Wes

    query_posts('cat=-3&showposts=2');

    that should do the trick 😉

    Hey there, I am so glad I found this, but i cant seem to get it to display the results… below is my code:

    <div id="video_archive">
	<h4>Featured Videos</h4>
		<?php $page_cat = $post->post_title; //copy the page title ?>
		<?php $page_cat = strtolower($page_cat); // make it lower case only?>
			<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name='.$page_cat); ?>
			<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
	<?php endwhile; ?><li> <?php echo $page_cat ?></li>
</div>

    I believe there is a count function within wordpress…

    otherwise, you could to a loop such as (this is concept… i am not fluent enough in PHP to write it out:}

    $images_count=0 <– declares the integer as not having a value
    While there are more images{;
    $images_count++; <– increase ‘images’s value for each image not sure about the actual command for this in PHP
    } <– ends while loop :p

    print “there are” . $images_count . “images in the media library.”;

    sorry I can’t be more specific 🙁

    My issue is that I do not see the option for Batch Upload… I just installed the plugin today.
