 * Hi all,
    I have a problem with the customization a some posts of my site. I’d
   like to know if there’s a way to assign a specific style and contents, conteined
   in a specific single.php, to all the posts of a particular category, similarly
   it is possible to customize the archive page of that category. For example: I
   have in my site a series of articles with the category “photo” and I want the
   page of these articles is different from the page of all the remaining articles,
   with a different background and sidebar. How I can get that? I hope you can help
   me, searching on internet I haven’t found answers. Thanks in advance.

 * You can customize a category archive by creating a category-_slug_.php template.

 * I’m not aware of a way to create the equivalent of single.php that’s category
   specific.
