It will be very usefull I hope. Like you explained before @eric I want to style posts differently on my index.php and have them change depending on which category they are in. I entered the (short) code into my loop.php.

Now i’m missing the next step. After entering into the loop it will output a category specific class which I should style via CSS. I can’t find the output and I don’t know where to style it. Can you help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Gabe,

How would i make it so I could use the same custom template for multiple categories(basically parent category and it’s children). Do I need to use in_category (id) || in_category (id2) || in_category (id3) and so on?

@Shovan – Yes you can change the number of posts per category by editing your WP Query.

So in your category template you can use:

 query_posts('posts_per_page=10'); ?>

That would show 10 posts per category page.

Thanks for the post, give me the know about category templating. Currently each category shows 10 post I know I can change this via admin panel. Is there any where in the code I can add how many post it should display on the page?
