   Hi,

   When creating a new post and assigning it to a specific category (say, video) i would like the post to be displayed using a specific (video)single.php template.

   Does anyone know the code to make this work?

   i have 4 categories i would like to do this with.

   When selected:

   cat1 or cat 2 = newssingle.php
   cat3 or cat 4 = videosingle.php

   Any help would be fantastic!

   Thankyou.

   if (in_category(1) || in_category(2)) include 'newsingle.php';
   else if (in_category(3) || in_category(4)) include 'videosingle.php';

   You'd probably want to put that in the single.php file.

   did this work for you? i'm having the same problem, but so far i haven't put that code in a place that doesn't make my page go wacky.
   where in the single.php file did you put it?

   I would like to link to a different single.php from my archive page.

   Let's say home.php links to single.php
   and archive.php links to single_x.php

   Any ideas?

   ok i used this but it looks like its putting one template on top of the other. single_x displays properly but i want it to display INSTEAD of single.php not alongside it. should i use another word besides 'include'?
