Make *ALL* Wordpress Categories use their Parent Category Template

Question

I want to change the default template hierarchy behavior, and force all subcategory level pages that don\'t have their own category template file to refer to their parent ca

Answer 1

The TEMPLATEPATH variable might not work for child themes - looks in parent theme folder. Use STYLESHEETPATH instead. e.g.

$template = STYLESHEETPATH . "/category-{$cat->slug}.php";
