## Description

This plugin enables themes to specify a different single.php template based on post
category. As posts can have multiple categories assigned, it uses the following 
to select which possible custom template to use:

1) Categories directly assigned
 — Check for extant single-CATEGORYID.php files 
and prioritize based on category order 2) Parents of categories — Parents are checked
based on category order of the directly assigned categories.

Note, the above assumes that there’s a category order plugin installed. If the categories
are NOT in a specific order AND there are multiple categories assigned per post 
then the template selection will be left up to the server. Naturally, if there is
only category assigned per post (or only one possible template per post), then there
will be no issue.

### Requirements

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder `Custom-Single` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
