 * I am having problems with how posts appear in my different category pages.
 * I have categories set up as described below;
 * CAT (parent)
    -SUBCAT (CHILD)
 * I have individual category pages set up for the parent and child (i.e.
    CAT =
   category-1.php and SUBCAT = category-2.php)
 * I have respective links on site to each cat. Meaning users have the ability to
   click on CAT and SUBCAT.
 * CAT and SUBCAT link to category-1.php and category-2.php respectively and display
   a list of posts for each category.
 * My goal is to have SUBCAT posts appear only under SUBCAT.
 * Currently when I write a post and assign it to the SUBCAT category it appears
   in SUBCAT fine, but it also appears in CAT.
 * Is there a solution to this or is this just how wordpress works?

 * That is just how it works from what I know. The only way to is not making them
   sub-cats. Which if you don’t want posts in sub-cats to not be by cats, why are
   they sub-cats anyhow?
