this question is for keesiemeijer…or whoever else knows the answer..

Alright…now I’m getting somewhere…

Your suggestion to rename whatever .php layout I want to “category.php” changes any page listed in the category admin panel to just that new category layout.

Now, I want only a “specific” category to changed in the admin panel. So its sounds like a need to have a conditional statement that looks for a category name and “if” this name exists “include” whatever.php correct?

Hello Keesiemeijer,

Thanks for your response.

I just replied to a post that is similar to mine that you responded to. I’m curious as to your suggestion to save over the category.php file. Also, if I want to alter a “specific” category layout, wouldn’t I have to add a conditional statement to the category.php file?

Hello, I just posted a similar problem I’m having. I want the “entire” layout of a “particular” category to mimic the layout of the “home/index” page.

I think what Keesiemeijer meant was for you to duplicate the index.php page, rename it, but then save it to the wp-admin folder…not the theme’s folder. But if you did that, that would override critical functions calls for your categories…so actually it doesn’t sound like that would work…

alright…appreciate it..this should get me started.

where is there some sort of document that can breakdown the file structure for WordPress 3.0?

Like this: https://maketecheasier.com/understanding-wordpress-theme/2010/01/07

This provides a layout of the files, but I think it may be a little outdated..
