• Ok, been at this now since 9pm last night!! I created a custom post type called ‘scrapbooks’. Added the default WP category to this post type using:

    <?php
    add_action( 'init', 'wpse6098_init', 100 ); // 100 so the post type has been registered
    function wpse6098_init()
    {
        register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'scrapbooks' );
    }
    ?>

    Anyway, that works great, displays cats, etc etc. The problem comes when Iclick on a cat to view all posts in that cat, it just displays EVERY post in the custom post type. Now I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, but no joy.

    I even tried custom category templates and that didnt work, so am back to using the standard category.php (it isn’t called anywhere else) and that is

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    
    <div class="page-overlay">
    <div id="page-wrapper"><div class="fake-close"><a title="Pop-up Books from Sussex Paper Engineer" href="http://www.corinaandco.com"><img src="http://www.corinaandco.com/wp-content/themes/candco/img/close.png" alt="Close" /></a></div>
    <div id="diary-page-wrapper">
    <div id="diary-top"></div><!-- /#diary-top -->
    <div id="diary-middle">
    <div id="diary-left">
    <?php query_posts('post_type=scrapbooks'); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="diary-date-info"><span class="times-new-roman"><?php the_time('M n') ?> | </span><?php the_category(' '); ?></div><!-- /.diary-date-info -->
    <div class="diary-post-content">

    </div><!-- /#diary-page-wrapper -->
    </div><!-- /#page-wrapper -->
    </div><!-- /.page-overlay -->
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Really getting tired of this now, seems like the last hurdle lol.

    Is this the category.php you have now?
    this part query_posts('post_type=scrapbooks'); tells the loop to only show “scrapbooks” Post type Posts.
    Maybe you need:

    $current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
    query_posts('post_type=scrapbooks&cat='.$current_cat);
