 * <?php
    $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query-
   >query(‘&paged=’.$paged); ?> <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query-
   >the_post(); ?>
 * **This is for home page right?**
    Now i want to implement this to categories 
   in archive.php but i dont know how. When i enter code above to archive.php it
   shows home page posts (all posts) in every category. How to make it work?

 * You have to set up your conditional arguments in your query.
 * Check this codex page:
