Hi kanonji, I think your plugin is good but maybe not completely.
I have a page-home.php is used for my front-page. And when i activated your plugin, my Home-page ( page-home.php ) didn’t work and WP used page.php for my front-page.
Would you help me to fix this problem ?
I think if there is no this error in your plugin, your one will be 5 stars.

Thanks for this plugin. It does exactly what it says in the box and does it right. However, I have a little annoyance since I’m using it.

I have the parent category and the child categories, that use the parent category template.

I usually filter searches by category, such as:
mysite.com/?s=searchterm&cat=5&Submit=Search

Since activating the plugin, when I search a term within a child category, the search results page uses category-parent.php, instead of search.php.

When I search within the parent category, search results are rendered correctly.

Any solution?

The category description disappears once I activate the plugin.
<?php echo category_description( $category ); ?> is ignored. I would like to use this plugin, but I need the category description to show. Any ideas?

The WP Use parent template didn’t work as expected.

When the child category query is redirected to parent category template, the child category query is replaced by a global query. Oops, wrong behavior.

I’m still trying to find a plugin that does something obvious: uses the parent category template for child category queries. This would save me some elaborate conditional coding on the category page, or save me the horrid redundancy of multiple nearly-identical category templates for each category.

Hi,

When i use this plugin, i cannot use $wp_query->post_count; in my page templates. It only returns 1, when is should return 20.

Why is this? Any ideas on how to resolve this?
