   Ok here's an imaginary structure of a site. The actual structure is more complex but I'm using an imaginary one for clarity.

   • Category 1
     • Post 1.1
     • Category 1.1
       • Post 1.1.1
       • Post 1.1.2
   • Category 2
     • Post 2.1

   As you can see, Category 1 has 1 child category and 1 post. Displayed normally the category page for Category 1 will display all 3 posts under it. However I want to display only only Post 1.1 and Category 1.1, and exclude posts from children categories.

   Any idea how this can be done?

   Managed to get it working with

   <?php
   // Restrict posts to current category and not its children
   $cat_id = get_query_var('cat');
   $child_cats = (array) get_term_children($cat_id, 'category');
   query_posts(array(
   	'cat' => $cat_id,
   	'category__not_in' => $child_cats
   ));
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   // Display post title, content, etc
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   for displaying non child-category posts.

   That is 1/2 of your problem and also exactly what I am looking for.

   For listing child categories I found this code:
   

   $cat_id = get_query_var('cat');
   
   $catlist = wp_list_categories('echo=0&orderby=id&title_li=&child_of=' . $cat_id);
   
   if ($catlist) {
   echo $catlist:
   } else {
   // do your loop stuff
   }

   Only problem is that when there are no child categories it prints "no categories" which is ugly and my next task to fix.
