  I have a search on my page that contains 3 elements…

  1) the text input
  2) a dropdown box of categories
  3) a dropdown box of tags

  I need someone to be able to type something in the field, select a category, and select a tag then press “search” and see only the results that fit those items.

  The input field works fine.
  The input field with the categories dropdown works fine.
  If I remove the categories dropdown, the input field with the tags dropdown works fine.

  What doesn’t work is all three together… basically the 2 dropdown boxes are conflicting, or WP doesn’t know what to do with them.

  So, my question is, how can I use 2 dropdown boxes in a search query?

  Are you talking about the blog linked to your user name: http://www.noelgreen.com/ ? If so, that isn’t a wordpress.com blog and you need to direct your inquiry over to http://wordpress.org/support/ as we are on different software (multi-user version) here and few if any here are familiar with the software you are using.

  No, that’s not the blog I’m talking about… but I am talking about one that isn’t ON wordpress.com… so I will do that. Thanks! :)
