Exclusion from home page results in exclusion from custom archives page

Awesome plugin! Thrilled with how easy it is to use.

I have a custom archives.php page which I created based on this guide. My code is as follows:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archive page
*/
?>
<?php
$posts_to_show = 1000; //Max number of articles to display
$debut = 0; //The first article to be displayed
?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php
$myposts = get_posts( "numberposts=$posts_to_show&offset=$debut" );
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>
<li><?php the_time('d/m/y') ?>: <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

<?php endwhile; ?>

I have discovered that using UCE to exclude a category from the home page results in also excluding it from this custom archives page. I can’t figure out why.

Not a big deal and totally not your problem, but figured I’d mention it in case there is an easy solution.

Thanks again.
