cheers!

To get the active category when viewing single posts check out the following links:

Basically the plugins will allow for a “current” class to be included to your wp_list_category() and will also display them for when into single posts.

I think WordPress treats all subcategories as separate categories which means you will just need to create a template for each category and subcategory. Basically you will just duplicate your category template and change the cat ID. Sucks but I can’t think of another way to pass along styles to subcategories.

That’s a really great post!

Is is a way to assign categories to pages in order to have active state according to the category on the main navigation?

Or maybe, Create custom templetes for categories, but what then with pages?

Basicly I wanted to create:

home – page (displaying all posts from all categories) or custom templete?
about – page
articles – category with listed posts from articles category
tutorials – category with listed posts from tutorials category
freebies – category with listed posts from freebies category
contact – page

The problem is to display is and keep active state button even if we are deep into the category -> post hierarchy…. Is that any way to acomplish it?
Paul´s last blog ..C.R.A.P. Website Design principles, are they really so crap?

One question, I have a parent category and many child categories. Do you know how to add a custom category template so it includes all child categories?

Let”s say my parent category is “cars” or category “30″. How I can I use the same template for all Brands or “child categories” such as Lexus, BMW etc.

Thank you for the info, i’m going to try and do it like that, and see how it goes.

First and foremost, thank you for alerting me that mail@ was down. I recently moved hosts, but mail@ should be back up and running.

Thanks for the kind words!

As for my Works page it’s actually a custom category page. The thumbnails are added to the posts as Custom Fields, in the category template I just call in the thumbnails for all the Work posts from within the loop. What’s great about using Custom Fields for my thumbnails is that I can reuse as needed, as you can see in my sidebar.

How are you today?
I tried to email you , and it bounce back

No problem! Just duplicate your index.php and rename it to single.php then edit that single.php file for any changes you wish to make.
