Different themes for different pages

    Hello,

    I’ve added wp_auctions plugin for a client website developed in wordpress.
    What I’m trying to do is to associate different themes to specific pages. For those that know how wp_auction work should understand what I’m trying to achieve, for those who don’t, when we create an auction we need to associate that auction to a post, what I need is to give a different theme to that specific page and all her children.

    Thanks in advance ??

  • Not exactly what you are asking, but might look at page templates as the WordPress Template Hierarchy will allow you to code a different template (and thus header, footer, sidebar) for each Page.

    Thanks Michael.

    I will take a look. It’s probably what I need.

    From what I’ve read if I create a “mypage.php” template file and if my page is named mypage that’s the file that is loaded. What about “mypage” page children, are they also loaded with “mypage.php” template?

    As far as I could try and comprehend it does not support having the same template for page children.

    Is there any way to activate this?

    when you create any page, you can select what template is used…. select the appropriate template

    I can? Where?

    I’ve just tried to create a new page and there’s no “Choose template” option.

    Sorry if I’m missing it out.

    Once you’ve created a proper page tenmplate (including the necessary stuff at the top of the file) and saved it in with your theme,

    it’ll be over on the right, in the page editor, in a section called attributes

    select template from dropdown menu

    OK. Got it. Thank you very much! ??

    I am posting here because I would like to have a different theme (which has different .php files) for my store. At the same time, I want every other page in my site to have a the Twenty Ten theme.

    I am planning on styling my store to look like my Twenty Ten theme, but because a store has different mechanics in the .php files, I cannot use just one theme.

    How can I implement the Twenty Ten theme for all of my pages, but have a store (eShop v5.0) as well? I understand that themes are different from templates- so I cannot just select the inactive eShop theme for my store and then select the active Twenty Ten theme for all of the other pages.

    Can someone tell me how to implement this?
