Hi there folks! It’s been quite some time since I wrote the predecessor of this plugin called Wordpress Themed Categories Plugin and I admit that I have failed to maintain it. Lots of people are reporting that it doesn’t work so I decided to rewrite it.
Introducing GYS Themed Categories 2.0. It’s the same as the old one except that this one will work for Wordpress 2.6 and above. Sorry for leaving users Wordpress 2.5 and lower behind. It’s just too hard keeping track of all the versions so I decided to just make sure it works on the latest versions.
You can download it here. GYS Themed Categories
To use it, just upload it to your Wordpress blog’s plugins folder and activate it.
How much does it cost? Well, this one’s free but I’d really appreciate if you can link back to this site. For bug reports, just post a comment and I’ll try my best to have it fixed.

I installed your categories 2.0 plugin and it seemed to be working perfectly.
I just ran into one problem that I cannot solve and could use some advice.
When I go into a category where I have changed the theme, it works perfectly. However if I click on the ‘next page’ of articles on the bottom it reverts to my main theme for the article listings. If I click on an article itself I get back to the modified theme like it should.
How do I solve this?
example:
http://www.annointed.net/blog/category/christian-blogs/journals-of-the-heart/ works perfectly
http://www.annointed.net/blog/category/christian-blogs/journals-of-the-heart/page/2/ reverted back to the old theme.

Thx for the great plugin! quick question.

when i click on page 2 it automatically reverts back to original theme even though it still set to the themed category.
any workarounds?

Hi Shawn and Jay,
Looks like you both have the same problem. I’ll look into the issue and see what I can do about it. I’ll keep you posted.

Update: I tested the current version with Wordpress 2.7 and it seems to work just fine.
Can’t replicate your issue.

using wordpress 2.7
basically its issue with page navigation
aka wp-pagenavi on themed categories.
1. main page - maintheme
2. categories - different theme.
3. categories page 2 = reverts back to main theme.

I am using 2.6.5
It works fine except if you have more than 1 page of articles in a category using a ‘themed category’ the previous pages revert back to old theme.

Hi,
I have these ff. menus by adding pages:
-About
-Products
-FAQs
Can i use this plugin wherein I will assign THEME A to About page and use the THEME B to the rest of the menus?
I tested this plugib and it only works in Categories.
I’m using wordpress 2.7
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Hi Ronie,
Sorry but the plugin only handles categories and not pages.

Is it possible to just specify a php-file and not an entire theme?
Since I have 50+ categories with different look, it would be swell…

Sorry, but that can’t be done with this plugin.

I’ve noticed that posts in multiple categories fall back to the main theme. Does that mean that if you want to use multiple categories for a post, they all have to be associated with the same theme in order for theme switching to work?
[Can you CC me your answer, I might not find this page back.]

hi, posts in multiple categories will be displayed using the theme of the first category.

Thank you for this plugin.
I’m not using it yet but this is going to make me work on my theme all night long !
