I do not know what I changed in the code, but now the subcategory are displayed along with all other posts from the parent category and the other subcategories. When I click on a subcategory, the page just reloads, and should include only those who belong to this subcategory. Maybe in code something is wrong. I did not notice the error. Codex doesn’t help. Please help to understand.
Portfolio.php

<?php
/*
Template Name: Portfolio
*/
?>
<?php get_header() ?>
<?php
    $catid = 4,5,6;
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts('cat='.$catid.'&paged='.$paged);
    $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
    ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="Content">
the_excerpt();
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
    <h2 class="post-title"><?php _e('404 - Not Found'); ?></h2>
    <p><?php _e('Nothing's found.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer() ?>

And code for category portfolio template in functions.php

add_filter( 'category_template', 'my__template' );
function my_template( $template ) {
    $catid = 4,5,6;
    $catid = strpos( $catid , ',' ) ? explode( ',' , $catid ) : array( (int) $catid );
	if( is_category( $catid ) )
		$template = locate_template( array( 'portfolio.php') );
	else
		$template = locate_template( array( 'category.php' ) );
	return $template;
}

Whats wrong? Thanks!

Sorry for insolence, maybe you can explaine how to resolve This problem.
Past few week trying to resolve this problem.

Man THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You’re a good man. Thanks for this help.

I’ll try to make this. This isn’t work.

add_filter( 'single_template', 'my_template' );

function my_template( $template ) {
$catid = get_option('imp_cat');
if ( in_category(array($catid)) )
$template = locate_template( array( 'single-port.php' ) );
return $template;
}

I dont understand about explode and how to get this work with my function.

inside categories id’s 4,5,6. I’m put this id’s in my theme options. imp_cat thats a options textfield id. In this textfield I put categories ID’s -4,5,6. Before this in all other cases all works is fine but this code isn’t work.

ooopps. All working is fine with category__not_in but some posts that not in category 5 exclude too. I dont understand why?

Hi esmi! Please help me understand why category__in and category__not_in doesnt exclude my child category from loop. I’m try to use this code.

<?php
    $limit = 6;
    query_posts(array('category__in' =>array(5),'posts_per_page'=>$limit));
    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    ?>

    <!---stuff here-->

    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

Thank you!

Please tell me how to exclude only one or two child categories not all?

Maybe you can explain how to make This filter by category? Thank you!

May I do this without plugins? Maybe few hacks?
