Quick update:

I discovered that overwriting all the CSS is possible, but it’s a pain. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.

It seems that when you set the second set below, it only overwrites the first set IF you put something in the CSS brackets.

#body { css here }
becomes
body.page.page-id-90 #body { CSS here }

BUT ONLY IF

body.page.page-id-90 #body { IS NOT EMPTY }

This presents major problems if you are trying to style a NEW page because 1) you have to use all the old ID’s and CLASSES and 2) If you don’t USE all of the old ID’s and CLASSES the old CSS code shows up.

Thats a great idea samboll, and if it would work somehow so that I could retain the g3 theme that I’ve chosen for the gallery so that I could transfer it to my WP theme for JUST the gallery page that would be helpful.

The problem is that the WP theme doesn’t seem to be able to split into two themes.

What I need is for my main blog theme to stay the same, but have the GALLERY button take me to a WP page within the same WP database, and somehow apply a different CSS layout.

Do you know if that is possible?

@samboll

maybe you can use this to pull the theme to your gallery

Thanks for the reply Samboll! I’m a little confused by your suggestion though. “Pulling” the theme from Gallery3 would imply using it’s layout and css styling to create the same type of layout in WordPress for my gallery. Of course if I wanted to style my entire WordPress site in the same way that wouldn’t be a problem but I just need to style one page, the gallery.

If it’s possible to pull the style and apply it to just one page of a blog that would be awesome! At this point I’m a little unsure how I would define a secondary set of CSS rules and layout rules that would supercede the current styling of a page and still only apply to ONE page.

Thanks for all your help.
