  • The best way is to put all required files in the same theme.

    here is confusing part for me .

    let say .. i am using .. theme ABC —
    which will find the folder inside wp-content/theme/ABC .

    but i now want to use Theme 123

    which is found in
    wp-content/theme/123

    the confusing part is – how do i link .. Single123.php
    which i created . 

    < ?php
$category = get_the_category();
$currentcat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php")) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php");
} else {
?>

    this tell me the single file i create , but to me is like a missing link to allow the theme in another folder to be used .

    i am sorry for asking silly question , but i am totlaly lost here.

    a theme need index.php + style.css ( ? )
    any good example .. of index,php using one theme . and single( renamed ).php using asnother theme .

    a code example would be cool ??

    Thanks for the fast reply
