Hi! I'm struggling to use custom post template in thesis. I would like to use different layouts for different posts. There are many tutorials for using custom page template but I can't find ones for posts. I'm new to Thesis so I probably miss something but if someone knows how to or tutorial that mentions about it, please share with me. Thanks in advance!

Answer #1 in this post might provide you with a way to style posts in Thesis or elsewhere, as long as you're using WP 2.8+: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/20/10-useful-wordpress-hacks-for-advanced-themes/

One way to do this (that goes against the thesis custom_functions.php file, unfortunately) is to use this plugin:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-template/

Then, create a page called, say, news.php and put this code inside

<?php
/*
Template Name Posts: News
*/

/*
Your custom code goes here
*/

Then, once you upload this to your thesis folder, it should show up in the post-template dropdown.
