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.
