Thread: Different categories, different layout/theme?

Different categories, different layout/theme?

With a regular wordpress theme, I can design completely separate category.php files (category1.php, category3.php and so on) and do different things for each category. Either I stayed up too late last nite and am totally missing something, or this isn't possible with the Classipress theme. Am I missing something? Should I be able to do this? Or has this feature been stripped out somehow in the theme?

Re: Different categories, different layout/theme?

It can definitely done with Classipress. Just tinker with the "if category" and or post template functions or you can hire a programmer to do it for you.

Thanks Jomark! I thought it could be! Like I said, I stayed up pretty late working on it and right now I have a screaming 18mo pulling my arms off (LOL) so I wasn't sure if I was just simply overlooking something or if it was somehow hardcoded into the theme to not work.

Re: Different categories, different layout/theme?

I knew it was something stupid......... I worked all day (granted I had an 18mo crawling on my head and screaming at me - she's quite demanding)... but end the end know what it was? The category I was trying to change is id#12. I had "category12.php" and it should have been "category-12.php" (note the absence of the dash between the word and the cat id number). HOLY CRUD!
