WordPress Single Page Template For Categories

single-{category}.php

<?php

// CATEGORY SINGLE TEMPLATES :: single-{category_slug}.php
add_filter( 'single_template',
    create_function( '$t', 'foreach( (array) get_the_category() as $cat ) {
        if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . "/single-{$cat->slug}.php") ) return TEMPLATEPATH . "/single-{$cat->slug}.php";
    } return $t;' ) );


// Example
// single-news.php

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the code.
It's almost exactly what I was looking for.

A note: using TEMPLATEPATH won't work if using a child template.
This will look in the parent template directory for the single-{cat->cslug}.php file.
I replaced it with dirname(FILE) to fix this.

Thanks again,
C
