   I am trying to display posts by groups with each group/category having it's own header image and template. In my index.php file for my master template, I have the following:

   <?php
   if (is_home())
   {
   	include (TEMPLATEPATH . "<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/simpla/postlisting_home.php");
   }
   else if (is_category('3')) {
       include (TEMPLATEPATH . "<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/simpla/postlisting_news.php");
   }
   else if (is_category('4')) {
       include (TEMPLATEPATH . "<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/simpla/postlisting_media.php");
   }
   else {
       include (TEMPLATEPATH . "<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/simpla/postlisting_misc.php");
   }
   ?>

   Basically I am trying to get it so that if it is home, it uses a specfic template. If the page has posts for category 3, use the specified template, etc. However the above codes displays nothing. (All four template files exist and are correct.) I don't receive any error message at all.

   Hello

   You can create a file named home.php for the front page, then for each category you can use a specified template file: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

   Hope it helps. :)

   Specific template files for each category works great but is there anyway for the posts in that category to use that same specific template file?
