Hi, I am wondering it is possible to use wordpress hooks (actions or filters) to programmatically set the Post Template for a specific category?

My intention is to make it harder for the editors of my site to ‘break’ the layout designs I want to keep consistent on the site.

Not sure if it is possible, but it would be great if through the functions.php in the child theme, you could set the $td_post_theme_settings[‘td_post_template’]; to a template of your own choosing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Unfortunately the theme was not built to support that and posts cannot easily inherit the category post template setting. There is not easy configuration for this. The part that loads a specific post template is here: http://screencast.com/t/flYDFAuO

I hope this helps,
Radu O.
