   Hello all.
   My first post here. Hope someone can help. Existing solutions stopped working on WP2.7

   This is about archive pages.

   While building a test site, I have noticed that WP lists an output of posts from all of a parent's sub-categories as well as the parent category.

   Said differently, on archive page "cat_parent" wp will also list posts from child_cat1.... child_cat2...child_catn
   and
   grand_child_cat1...grand_child_cat2...etc

   How can I tell wordpress.

   On archive pages....just list posts from this category only, ignoring any child_category post, and ignoring grand_child_category posts too. Thanks wordpress :)

   Craig
   P.S. I'm using Thesis theme, so ideally a custom function would be ideal for the custom_functions.php file. A styling class would be super too :) But all contributions welcome.

   Could try this in your category template just before your loop:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $current_cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $args=array(
     'category__in' => array($current_cat),
     'paged' => $paged
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Thank your for the reply!. This one took all weekend to workout.
   @Kristarella solved it. Documented here: WordPress: Exclude child categories from category archives

   Full workings for #Thesis hashed out here in DIYthemes forum
