Merging two queries

Recommended Posts

This must be easy enough, but I'm a noob so go easy on me, please :-)

 

I have two pieces of code and they're working well on their own. All I need is to put these two conditions into one query.

 

The first one:

<?php
function childtheme_cat_limited_blog( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'events_categories', 'mycategory1' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'childtheme_cat_limited_blog' );
?>

And the second:

<?php
function childtheme_cat_limited_blog( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category_name', 'mycategory2' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'childtheme_cat_limited_blog' );
?>

I'm sure it's a piece a cake for you guys, but I can't figure it out for the life of me, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

 

(My goal is here to display posts from two categories on a homepage of a Wordpress site, but to complicate things the two categories are from two different post types.)

Not a wordpress user but does the following work?

function childtheme_cat_limited_blog( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'events_categories', 'mycategory1' );
        $query->set( 'category_name', 'mycategory2' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'childtheme_cat_limited_blog' );

Try this:

function childtheme_cat_limited_blog( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        return $query;
    }
    $query->set( 'events_categories', 'mycategory1' );
    $query->set( 'category_name', 'mycategory2' );
    return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'childtheme_cat_limited_blog' );

I'm not sure if events categories is a custom taxonomy or not - if it is, I'm not sure the above will work, but there are ways around that too so post back here if it doesn't work.

I am taking a form that has been created and now trying to incorporate it into WP. The form is filled out multiple times per session. The form when filled out will generate an ID that is testking.net  used to track the form submissions until completed. The problem that I'm running into is that the code is using a URL structure that breaks on the install.
