   Hi,
   I had a custom query for post type to show up posts by tag in a category page (and sub-category pages)
   

   <?php
   
   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_type=video&tag=space' );
   
   // The Loop
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   
   ?>

   But since I'm using this query all posts are showing up in parent category and children categories without caring about the category they belong.

   Before I had `<?php

   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

   ?>` and it was working fine.

   How can I accomplish what I'd like to?

   I think I have explained very bad. I'll try again

   - Post Type: Video
   - Custom post "video" with tag"space"
   - Parent category: VideoPage (id=4)
   - Children categories: A-B-C

   I want show for Parent Category and children only custom post type "video" with tag "space"

   In my file category.php I called the template:
   

   <?php
   	// If is category or subcategory of $cat_id
   if (!function_exists('is_category_or_sub')) {
   	function is_category_or_sub($cat_id = 4) {
   	    foreach (get_the_category() as $cat) {
   	    	if ($cat_id == $cat->cat_ID || cat_is_ancestor_of($cat_id, $cat)) return true;
   	    }
   	    return false;
   	}
   }
   ?>
   
   			<?php if (is_category_or_sub(4)) : ?> 
   
   				<?php load_template(TEMPLATEPATH . '/cat_videopagine.php'); ?>
   
   			<?php else : ?>

   Then in the file cat_videopagine.php I have this:
   

   <?php
   
   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( 'post_type=video&tag=space' );
   
   // The Loop
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   
   ?>

   The Problem is:
   Either in parent cat page or all children cat pages all same custom posts "video" with the tag "space"are displayed so I have
   Parent: p1-p2-p3-p4-p5-p6
   Cat A: p1-p2-p3-p4-p5-p6
   Cat B: p1-p2-p3-p4-p5-p6
   Cat C:p1-p2-p3-p4-p5-p6

   There should be a function that calls the category and displays only the posts that belong to those category.
   Cat A : p1(catA)
   Cat B: p3(catB)
