 * At our shop we have the blog as a subject “News”. We have several categories 
   and the posts are in different categories. At this every category is loading 
   every post so even if we have placed only 2 posts in 1 category he is showing
   10 posts.
 * The url looks just fine so domain.com/category/nieuws/, but shows all the posts.
 * Let me know what I can test to fix this

 * what theme are you using?
 * does your theme have a category.php?
    if so, does that template contain a custom
   query?
 * if no category.php, does it have an archive.php?
    if so, does that template contain
   a custom query?
 * if no archive.php, does the index.php template contain a custom query?
