This plugin makes category templates be selectable by drop-down list from the manage > categories screen of the admin console. It makes the selection / use of category and post templates as easy as page templates. It also includes configuration options that allow you to configure whether sub-categories inherit templates from their parent if none are specified.

Features:

  • You can now use one category template for multiple categories without identical copies of the category-##.php

  • All category / post templates and settings are relative to the current theme applied to WordPress

  • If you select a different theme, the entries will remain in the database in case you want to revert back.

  • If you delete a category, all records (regardless of theme / version) will be deleted.

  • The Sub-Category Inheritance option applies for both category templates and post templates.

  • Now supports parent / child theme configurations.
