 * This plugin will create automatic templates in your themes folder.. If not then
   you can create one by copy exit archive page mean category page.. and just add
   this tag on the top of new copied page.
 * <?php
    /* Template Name: Category Name */ ?>
 * Then select your category template. From the category option.

 * [@asif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asif/) Thanks.
 * That is right This plugin will automaticly pick up templates in your themes folder.
 * So to create one just use this tag at the top of the template:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Category Name
       */
       ?>
       ```
