Theme-Making Question

  • Hey all,

    I’m getting my feet wet making a wordpress theme. It won’t be for blogging, but will be for a skateboarding website, with separate pages that will be themed differently. It will be a lot like the www.ads-software.com website, with each “topic” in the navbar going to a separately-themed page. My question is this: What is the best practice to go about doing this? My custom theme has these topics in the navbar:

    Home
    Shops
    Videos
    Photos
    Products
    Team
    About

    So, I need 6 differently themed pages. How to best accomplish this? (PS, I know this is impractical to do this with wordpress, but that’s what the client wanted, because that’s what he was used to).

    Not at all. It gets easier per WordPress version ??

    There are different ways to approach what you want, some simple ways:

    1) Change style via CSS – make sure that body classes are added dynamically by replacing regular <body> tag with <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
    From that alone, there’s a large variety of tweaks you can make to each page in your theme’s style.css via e.g. body.video, body.team, body.shops, etc.

    2) Change layout via Page Templates and/or Category Templates
