Is there a way to make it so that only posts that reside in both categories simultaneously are counted? Sorry, posted that before seeing this line: “cat_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND ” .

Is there a way to make it so that only posts that reside in both categories simultaneously are counted?

I am not a coder but think I know what the code achieves. I'd like like to see it in action first and then implement. Cheers Do you have an example of this?

// $ids is an array of all IDs you want to check overlap of
function category_overlap_count($ids){
$query = array();
$query['category__and'] = $ids; // This filters our query to include only posts that are in ALL of the specified queries
$query['posts_per_page'] = -1; // Making sure we select all posts (and not limit the query by our regular post per page setting)

$results = get_posts( $query ); // Run the query

$i = count($results); // Count the results

return $i; // Return the count
}
