 * Hello,
 * Is there a way to make it conditional?
 * For example, on the category.php it will check if I used the plugin or created
   a template for that specific category. It will show the created custom template
   when I view it on it’s page (www.domain.com/category/category-with-custom-template-
   created) but If I didn’t create a template for that specific category it will
   just load a default loop code for that category page.
 * What I’m trying to accomplish is that I’ll only need category.php for all the
   category. That I won’t need to create a category-slug.php for each category that
   I create a custom template for.

 * Hi, unfortunately no, there is no easy or automatically way of doing this, but
   we will consider it for the next update, it is a very good idea! Thank you!

 * That would be great! Is it already updated and the possibility available to make
   it conditional?
 * Thank you!
