    i have this code in function.php

    function add_my_CPT( $query ) {
  if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', array('post', 'nav_menu_item', 'stories'));
      return $query;
    }
}

    it add post types to the archive pages.
    but in archive pages i have sidebar with custom queries
    $args2 = array('posts_per_page' => 3, 'post_type' => 'tips');
    so in archive pages the sidebar queries shows all the posts (stories and tips) instead noly tips.

    how can i disable this?

    i added ‘if main query’

    function add_my_CPT( $query ) {
   if($query->is_main_query()    && ( is_category() || is_tag() )) {
    $query->set( 'post_type', array('post', 'nav_menu_item', 'stories'));
      return $query;
    }
}

    and its now works, but i hope i did it ok.
    the code is good?

    That’s exactly what is_main_query is for!
