Different Templates For Different Categories

  • I have applied the above code to my site. But I am getting errors. I am pretty sure I got the code right. But I think the problem is due to permalinks. Anyone got any ideas?
    I want to have a separate look for diferent categories on my site. I tried to implement this with the following code, but I am getting errors. Does anyone have any ideas how I can set different category templates successfully?

    <?php
    $post = $wp_query->post;
    if ( in_category(’13’) ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-computing.php’);
    elseif ( in_category(‘4’) ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-film.php’);
    } else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-default.php’);
    }
    ?>

    Example – https://www.alan-kay.com/category/computingClick on any post in this section and errors apppear.

    The theme I am using is a rather hacked K2 Beta One 118 from Binary Bonsai.

    Hi
    Thanks problem sorted.

    After I did what was recommended above in relation yo my problem, single post pages still referenced the default category template so I placed the following piece of code in the single.php file:
    <?php
    $post = $wp_query->post;
    if ( in_category(‘9’) ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-9.php’); }
    elseif ( in_category(’13’) ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-13.php’); }
    elseif ( in_category(‘2’) ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-2.php’); }
    else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-default.php’);
    }
    ?>

    YES!
