Custom category.php Page Not Working

[William]

Dear Genesis Enthusiasts,

I am in a pickle and I would greatly appreciate if someone can shed some light on my situation.

Under "Settings" => "Reading", I have set "Blog pages show at most" to 6.

I have created a category called 1970s where one can see all the best rock albums of the decade -> Meanwhile, I have created subcategories (1970, 71, 72, 73 etc...) where one can see the best rock albums of the respective year.

Here is the problem(s), in the subcategories I am getting exactly the same same results as in the parent category + pagination is not working.

Pictures of the problem:
Parent Category:
http://i44.tinypic.com/359gzn9.png
Sub Category:
http://i42.tinypic.com/33ux1yq.png

Here is the code in the category.php:

function rock_custom_loop() { ?>

<header class="category_title_wrap">

    <h1 class="gold_title">The Verybest of the:  <?php echo single_cat_title( '', false ) ?></h1>

    <?php if ( category_description() ) :  ?>
        <div class="category_description"><?php echo category_description(); ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

</header><!-- category_title_wrap -->

<?php 
global $post;

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'post',
    'post_status'    => 'publish',
    'paged'          => get_query_var( 'paged' )
);

global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( have_posts() ) : 
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="w_one_fourth">

            <div class="postimage">
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('category-thumb-2'); ?></a>

            <div class="blackframe">
                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
            </div><!-- blackframe -->

            </div><!-- postimage -->

        </div><!-- w_one_fourth-->

    <?php 
    endwhile;
    do_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile' );
endif;

wp_reset_query();
}

add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'rock_custom_loop' ); remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

genesis();

I hope you can see the issues. Pagination + Sub Categories are displaying correctly.

Thank you for your time,

Regards,

Will
