Just like the way you can create custom page templates, this plugin enables you to build category archive templates by adding this bit to the top of your file:
<pre><code><?php
/**
 * Category Template: Grid
 */
?>
</code></pre>
and when you’re adding or editing categories, you can choose the desired template file.
This plugin is maintained solely for backward compatibility. Try the new <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-taxonomy-templates/" rel="ugc">Custom Taxonomy Templates</a> instead, it supports all taxonomies and also uses the new term meta feature in WP 4.4.

*new update: I come back and support old plugin, so this version is fixed many bug, please check out !
This plugin allow you to select the theme ( template ) base on category in edit or add Category screen in WordPress\’s admin and all the post in category will be change also.
This plugin is safe and speed, no custom SQL query.
Remember: Do not change the theme after you update category theme, if you change or remove theme the category will be white screen error, so remember to set the theme of the category to \”default\” before you remove theme/template.
