Topic: Incorrect categories displaying on home page

I just updates to version 1.5 and am having some category issues. Apologies if this has already been adressed and I just couldn't find it. In the News Posts section, I only want it to display blog posts (as opposed to the other categories). I have selected Blog from the category dropdown and enabled offset, but other categories are still showing up in the news.

How can I fix this, if known? Thanks! Site is here: http://www.looseleafstories.com

Sincerely,
E.D. Lindquist

Yikes! I just discovered that the same is occurring with the Featured Stories widget, which is showing all categories instead of just the one I've selected.

I tried out 1.5b2 to see if the issue was alleviated, but it was even more problematic: Not only were the news posts drawn from all categories, but so was the slideshow and featured ares #1 and #2. I've reverted to 1.5b1.

Anyone else having these problems or have a solution?

I'm having this same issue-- just upgraded to the latest version.  How did you solve it?

I did a template.php replace suggested in the release post for 1.5b3, but it doesn't resolve the issue for the "News" posts, the third category.  Instead of displaying only my "Updates" category, it displays all categories.

any ideas?
