Custom Query to search through categories

When using get_categories or similar, is it possible to filter results that contain certain Tags as well?
Check out my answer on how to get terms that are associated with others through the posts that they’re attached to. In your case, you could put it into practice like so; $category_IDs = get_terms_soft_associated( ‘category’, array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘post_tag’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => ‘audio’ ) ); wp_list_categories( array( ‘include’ => $category_IDs ) ); … Read more
