   This has probably been solved before but I can only find the answer by using a plugin...

   Basically I am trying to style a category AND all its children with a template.

   I have, for example, category-shop.php which styles the category page for the category shop. I want to however tell WP to style the categories Shop and all its children with the category-shop.php

   Sooo... If I have the following category structure:

   Shop
   -Gifts
   -Magazines
   -Food
   -Crisps
   -Gum
   News
   Reviews

   Anything posted with the category gifts, magazines, food, crisps or gum will be styled with category-shop.php but news and reviews will not.

   Any help would be great!

   Thanks

   Dave

   To make it easier you will want to use a plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/elevate-parent-category-template/

   Also review Category Templates and Template Hierarchy.
