Category Specific Theme

Might review this:
https://download.mikelopez.info/2006/10/17/wordpress-themed-categories-plugin/

You do realize you could use totally different headers/footer/sidebars without resorting to a different theme?

I would like to resort to using a different theme though :L

And who wouldn’t? Your idea for a category-specific theme option seems like a basic feature missing in WordPress–at least it is not easy to do. If you get an answer, can you let us know?

Oops, I see you already got your answer:

Thanks to Mike Lopez.

Hi I am looking for a plugin that will allow special formatting of the posts on category view. For example https://wiki4android.com/blog/category/games/ the category page has special formatting, but when you actually read the individual posts the format is different: https://wiki4android.com/blog/games/action/icommando/
What kind of plugin do I use?

the plugin is not working fine .. i have developed a similar plugin page specific theme has the same problem .. can anyone help to find whats wrong ?
see below listing for my plugin code

<?php
