Installing More Than One Theme to Your WP Blog

  • Hi,

    How do you install and activate two themes to work for your blog such as Genesis Framework theme and a Brainhost theme ?

    Thanks

  • sounds impossible to have 2 active themes.

    Could you give us a link to where we might view the Brainhost theme for WordPress? Maybe that would help in pointing you in the right direction.

    Actually is there a way to install the Genesis framework to WP in conjunction with a Brainhost theme and where would I upload it to ?

    My website is : https://whilealivelive.com I am using a Brainhost theme called Twitter Blog 1.0

    Thanks

    I guess I’m not clear on what you are actually trying to achieve, so my answer is yes. You can install the Genesis theme and the Twitter Blog 1.0 theme in WordPress at the same time. Can you use them together? No.

    You can install as many WordPress themes as you like. (assuming you aren’t being hosted on a WordPress Multi-User site where your host doesn’t allow it ) Just use an ftp client or the file manager in your hosts control panel. Here are the directions: Adding New Themes

    Genesis is a theme framework that can be easily changed by the use of many different child themes. That means that any theme designed as a child theme just for Genesis, will not work unless you also have Genesis installed, but it does not mean that any theme will work as a child theme for Genesis.

    You can install pretty much any and as many WordPress themes as you like, free or otherwise, but generally speaking you can only use one theme at a time on your blog.

    My Mozilla Firefox browser states that the Adding New Themes link is a invalid URL

    Yes. That would be because I am an idiot. ??

    Here’s one that works. Adding New Themes

    It comes from the instructions for using WordPress found in the WordPress documentation that can be accessed from the “Docs” link in the navigation menu at the top of the page.

    Wow, I’ve never heard of that either.

    I tried loading up your site and I couldn’t get it to load. It just kept timing out on me.
