Weird wordpress issue, help please - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey i tried googling this but wasnt able to find an answer. I got a wordpress blog that i recently change the theme on and i use this theme on other sites with no issue, only thin i changed was some css. Anyways The category pages dont display post from the particular category instead no matter the category they all display the index page. What is weird is tags go to tag pages, but the category will only display the index page even though the correct permalink is listed in the address bar. Any ideas?

Check your "Perma-links" setup in the "Settings" menu - especially if you set up a custom link structure...

:D

Missing category.php or archive.php page in the theme folder ?

check the category template for a call to query_posts. If there's anything like cat=1 in it, pull that out and see what happens. I've run into weirdness like that before and it's almost always the query_posts mucking things up

Code:

<?php if ( is_home() ) { query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-227,-228,-229'); } ?>

A proper way to exclude categories... I just fixed a similar issue with someone else and he was missing $query_string .
