I just noticed if I use the categories in my widgets the cat filter isn't being applied, it simply lists all the posts. If I use a direct cat filter it filters correctly.
../?cat=97 doesn't filter
../category/fine-art/ filters correctly
I'm on 3.1.1
Any ideas before I embark on a process of elimination?

Hi,
I found the problem.
Go to the theme folder, and open the file "lib/includes/template-blog.php", and you will find this code in lines #164 to #169:
<?php
$exclude_blog_cats = preg_replace("!(\d)+!","-${0}$0", $blog_excludecats);
$query_string = "cat=".$exclude_blog_cats."&paged=$paged";
query_posts($query_string);
$counter=0;
?>Replace it with:
<?php
/*$exclude_blog_cats = preg_replace("!(\d)+!","-${0}$0", $blog_excludecats);
$query_string = "cat=".$exclude_blog_cats."&paged=$paged";
query_posts($query_string);*/
$counter=0;
?>Please try that and let us know the results.
Hi Ruderic, I replaced the code unfortunately that caused the blog page to become blank with no posts, and the cat filtering was unaffected so wasn't the solution.
Quick up date, I switched themes to the default twentyten one and the category filtering worked as normal on selecting a category from the widget, on switching back the problem returned.

Hello WilliamWilsonPhotography,
Open up /wp-content/themes/awake/archive.php and on line 8 you should see this,
query_posts($query_string . '&cat='.$exclude_blog_cats);
Try changing it like this,
query_posts($query_string . '&cat='.$exclude_blog_cats . '&category_name=' . get_query_var('category_name'));
If that does not work for you then if possible PM us a Wordpress login so we can take a closer look.
