[Bug]: Jaida Theme - Post Categories Not Displaying Content Correctly

[OgeAmadi]

Quick summary

With the Jaida theme, when the posts on a site are assigned to different categories, each category displays all the posts on the site, rather than just the ones specifically assigned to it.

Steps to reproduce

1. Activate the Jaida theme on any WordPress.com site.
2. Create at least 2 or 3 posts and assign them to different categories.
3. Open each category in different tabs.

What you expected to happen

To see each category display only the posts assigned to it.

What actually happened

Each category displayed all the posts on the site instead.

It can also be replicated on the Jaida demo site, viewing the 'Travel' category page which doesn't actually have any posts assigned to the Travel category:
