How-To create templates for individual posts using WordPress<\/p>\n
I simply adore stuff like this<\/a>. While it took me 15 or 20 minutes to figure out what they were talking about, once I did it was both elegant and easy to replicate. Open Source Rocks!<\/p>\n The Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n WordPress allows you to easily create templates for “Pages<\/a>” and entire categories<\/a>. This is very handy and easy to implement. <\/p>\n WordPress does not make it easy to create a template for a single post. <\/p>\n In my case, I needed the first post in a category to have a special link for the “previous-link” navigation. Additionally, the last post needed the same link for the “next-link” navigation. (Normally, the first post would have a blank right navigation since there is no previous post and the last post would have a blank left one since there is no next post.)<\/p>\n The Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to create a category template you have to name the template file category-n.php<\/em> where “n” is the category ID. [Hint:<\/strong> Select Manage > Category > Your Category and then look at the URL – it will contain the category ID!]<\/p>\n Well these guys<\/a> figured out how to do the same thing by creating similar category templates and then assigning your post to that category. The >>REALLY<< cool and elegant thing is that the \"update\" by Austin<\/a> allows you to place a post in multiple categories (the real one and the template one).<\/p>\n Thanx gentlemen! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How-To create templates for individual posts using WordPress I simply adore stuff like this.
