   I'm having an issue using single post templates within a child theme. I've added the proper code to my child theme's functions.php file (add_filter('single_template'...) and have the proper single-XX.php files created but they're not being found/used.

   I've done some reading and it appears as though the solution used thus far to resolve this is to place any post templates within the parent theme. I'm wondering if there's a better solution? Is there a way to modify the single-template filter to look within the child theme's directory, perhaps by replacing "TEMPLATEPATH" with something else? I've tried a few modifications (such as hardcoding the path to the child theme directory) but nothing's working.

   Any help is appreciated, thanks..... Paul

   change TEMPLATEPATH to STYLESHEETPATH

   I Ended up using this code in my single.php (right at the top):

   '<?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   $currentcat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   ?>
   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   $currentcat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   if (file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php")) {
   include(STYLESHEETPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php");
   } else {
   ?>'

   remember to put this right at the bottom

   '<?php } ?>'
