# Current Category Function Not Working

 * I have a category called “Press Releases”. I have a page named Press Releases
   that lists the press release posts using a shortcode. I created a sidebar named
   press releases with the Norman widget in it. The goal is to create an archive
   by year for all press releases. I have selected current category but I still 
   get an archive for all posts. I cannot find a place that sets the current category.
   Any thoughts?

 * Same problem – Displays the proper number of posts for the current category but
   when you click on the archive link you get all posts for that month in all categories.
   Looks like this issue has been around for months with no resolution? Is anything
   being done about this?
