   since i found the wonderful world of "page templates" (ability to create seperate templates for each page in wordpress) i have a problem i can't figure out.

   i am having trouble trying to find out how to do that for posts based on the category it's in. i would like to have a different layout for each post depending on the category it's assigned to.

   my template doesn't have a 'single.php' but uses the 'index.php' instead to display the posts.

   it doesn't seem to be as easy as creating a 'page.php' page and renaming it and selecting it in the admin.

   thanks!

   i've also come across that plug-in but am reading that those with newer wordpress might have compatibility issues....unless that plugin has been updated?

   would using if statements be the only way ? that's all i can think of right now. like

   if in these categories
   do this..
   elseif in these categories
   do this
   else
   do this?

   If you are talking about Kaf's plugin - that works with 2.5.
