How to use multiple themes in one site

  • Hello everyone,
    I would like some help about using multiple themes in my WordPress blog-website.
    More specifically, I am using a theme with three sidebars (fjords04-10 theme) that have specific pictures as backgrounds.
    What i want to do is to use those specific pictures when the main content of my blog-site is displayed and to use other set of pictures when the pages are displayed. And even better, if it is possible, to use different set of pictures for each different page.
    So, when I am showing posts i want the main theme to appear and when I am showing pages other themes to appear.

    What i firstly did, was to create three new sidebars with different stylesheet and background pictures that were called only from page.php file. And the first three sidebars with the main background pictures are called from the rest files.
    But what about the main area? How can i have other content area with different stylesheet? Can I?
    Is it difficult to do it the way i chose or is there any plugin to make my life easier?

    I hope you know what i mean..
    I hope of some help..
    Thanks anyway.

  • How can i have other content area with different stylesheet?

    It might be easier to simply extend your existing stylesheet and add new classes etc as needed using CSS specificity. Have a look at:

    i think this is what i needed.
    I’ll get a better look though, later.

    Thank you very much for the reply!

    Hello again,
    What i want to do is.. in each category to have different background images.
    So, I tried to follow the steps that “esmi” kimd-member showed me (https://quirm.net/2009/08/07/changing-headers-with-wordpress-body_class/), but i don’t see any results.

    I am sending you the part of code of header.php file:
    <body <?php if (function_exists(‘body_class’)) body_class(); ?>>
    <div id=”header”>
    <div id=”headerimg”>
    <h1>
    “>
    <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    </h1>
    </div>
    </div>

    And the part of code of style.css file:
    body.category-expo #header url{
    padding-left: 25px;
    width: 853px;
    height: 120px;
    margin-left: 30px;
    border-left:solid 1px #CED4CA;
    border-right:solid 3px #CED4CA;
    background: #ffffff url(imagenes_qwilm/h2_870x200.jpg) no-repeat top left;
    }

    That’s what i did. But it doesn’t work.
    What i am doing wrong?
    Note: the name of one of my categories is: “expo”.

    Please help!
