    Dear Experts,
    how do I create multiple category pages? for example: I have three categories called latest news, financial news, entertainment news. I need all these categories should look different by the layout. how do I do that? Is there any plugins or hacks for it?

    Thanks in advance

    Do you want the actual category archive pages to look different or the posts within those categories?

    In any case you will need to edit your theme and you should take a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page

    That should get you moving in the right direction

    Contents of categories are usually displayed by archive.php (if there is one). You could use a Conditional Tag like is_category to call in a different archive template depending on which category is being displayed.
