This is our third and last post on enhancing the categories in our twenty eleven child theme, so we now have three different solutions, this one is extended as it is more rich in features.
We wanted to be able to choose a header from a list, add a nice description in the editor not just the description area, have a selectable choice per category of how the content is displayed and reverse the sort order.
A Different Header Image for Each Category two for the twenty eleven WordPress theme, we come across a topics over on the WordPress.org forum asking about a header image per category.
