Select multiple categories doesn't work

[csseur3]

i read this before:

​http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query#Query_based_on_Custom_Field_and_Category

and i try to make:

<?php
$test_count = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT SUM(meta_value+0) FROM $wpdb->posts
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id)
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id)
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id)
WHERE $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = 97,60,61,134,89
AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category'
AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'adherents'
ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value ASC");
echo '' . $test_count . '';
?>

or

<?php
$test_count = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id)
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id)
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id)
WHERE $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = 97,60,61,134,89
AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category'
AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'adherents'
ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value ASC");
echo '' . $test_count . '';
?>

to count number of "adherents" or number of the posts.

There is no working: it is impossible to select multiple categories.

Hello csseur3,

Trac is meant for reporting WordPress bugs. This is a support question, which you should take to the ​support forum.

Besides, what we have here is probably bad advice in the Codex. Please keep in mind that anybody can edit the Codex, so that means both that there can be bad advice and that you don't need to open a Trac ticket to resolve it.

One obvious problem is this phrase:

$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = 97,60,61,134,89

which should probably be

$wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id IN (97,60,61,134,89)

The proposed solutions are likely not the best way to go about accomplishing your goal, but again that's an issue for the support forums, not the bug tracker.

Same problem with your solution :(

I know that the forum is for support question, but i describe my problem 1 month ago and again this week, and nobody have solution, so i think there is a bug :(

Replying to csseur3:

Your problems are an incorrectly-formed MySQL query here and more generally an apparent ignorance of the WordPress API. Neither is a WordPress bug, so they are inappropriate in a Trac ticket.

I posted a solution to your question ​on the support forum.
