does the theme have an archive.php?
if not, does index.php contain a custom query?

do you usually keep following a problem for months 🙂
don’t mind but if i was you i would have tried to get rid by installing another theme.
in the index.php there is a query for archive
the posted part does not contain a query, like some code with query_posts();
please paste the full code of index.php into a http://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here – http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code
Here is the full index.php, thanks for your help. http://pastebin.com/UXmkPaYJ
this is the custom query I was asking for, and which makes every archive page look like the index page:
<?php query_posts( array( 'cat' => $blogcat, 'paged' => get_query_var('paged') ) ); ?>
do you remember why this was added?
if this is to control the front page posts, try to wrap it into a conditional statement, so the query is only used in the posts page/front page;
for instance:
<?php if( is_home() ) { query_posts( array( 'cat' => $blogcat, 'paged' => get_query_var('paged') ) ); } ?>

Eep! that is great! That query is an unnecessary bit, which I’ve removed, placing the site it working order. If it does become necessary I’ll use the conditional bit as you suggested. Thank you so much for taking the time!
