    How can I change this query so it only shows posts with the yoast primary category ‘prezi’ or ‘kahoot’?

    <?php
    // the query
    $the_query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'post' ,
    'posts_per_page' => 3,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'category_name' => 'prezi, kahoot',
    'orderby' => 'rand',
    'order' => 'asc',
    ));
    ?>

    Kind regards,
    Timothy

    This snippet shows all posts with their yoast primary category. What do I have to add to get only the posts with the primary category ‘Prezi’ or ‘Kahoot’? 

    $primary_term = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_yoast_wpseo_primary_category', true);
    $the_query = new WP_Query(array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'posts_per_page' => 3,
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'category_name' => $primary_term,
        'orderby' => 'rand',
        'order' => 'asc',
    ));

    Hello Timothy,

    Thanks for reaching out but your question goes beyond the technical expertise of the Yoast support team. Therefore, we can’t give you a solid answer to your question.

    But we don’t want to leave you empty-handed. Our developer portal at developer.yoast.com has proven helpful to many developers in the past and hopefully will serve you well too.

    Sorry, we can’t be of more help here.

    @maybellyne Thanks for your reply and the suggestion for the developer portal. I will think about it. For now, I’ve found a solution that works, but it is not the best one. That would be the adepted query.
