    I wanted to create a custom Post Layout template for each category; therefore depending on different category, it would automatically uses different layout. Can you advice how I could create separate Posts Layout using Soledad theme, and then mapped them to each category? 

    The documentation in "http://soledad.pencidesign.com/soledad-document/#posts" which uses Appearance  > Customize > Single Post would change the Post layout generically.

    Hi,

    Please go to the Posts → Categories, click the Category then you can set the layout at this screen.

    Hi,

    1. You can't add your custom layout to this list. This is a pre-defined layout built with this theme.

    2. For the Single Post Layout, when you create/edit the post, please scroll down to Options for This Page/Post, select custom layout at Select Single Style for This Post? The current version doesn't have an option to select Single Post Layout for the specified Category.

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    Based on the recommendation below in Posts → Categories, I am not able to change the layout. For example, I try to modify the "Select Custom Sidebar for This Category' by changing it to Custom Sidebar 1 (which I have modified based on the documentation), but this category is still showing the general Sidebar. 

    On top of that, there is an error displayed on top of when I entered Posts → Categories (which is shown in the image attached).

    Hi,

    Thank you for report this issue. We'll address this bug in the next theme update.

    You can manually fix this warning & save errors by going to Appearance → Theme Editor, navigate to this file: 

    inc/meta-box/categories-meta-box.php

    Find:

    add_action( 'edit_category_form_fields', 'penci_category_fields_meta' );

    Replace to:

    add_action( 'category_edit_form_fields', 'penci_category_fields_meta' );

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.
