I don’t know where $era_opts comes from but a filter on pre_get_posts should do this and preserve your pagination. function era_blog_cats_wpse_103587($qry) { if ($qry->is_page(‘your-page’) && is_main_query()) { $era_opts = get_option(‘era_opts’); // assuming that era_opts are options $blogcats = $era_opts[‘era_opts_blog_thecats’]; if(!empty($era_opts[‘era_opts_blog_thecats’])) { $qry->set(‘category__in’, $blogcats); } } } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’era_blog_cats_wpse_103587′); I made several assumptions about your data, but … Read more
