Thread: Installing more than one templates into a website

Installing more than one templates into a website

Hi,
I am setting up a website which would have 3 of the AppTheme templates - all in one.
1) how would I upload each theme into separate directory so that I can set it up as different sections on the website?
2) how can I create different sections/tabs on the website so that when someone clicks on the page name, they go directly to that theme?
3) is there anyone, a user can have 1 login details to access all 3 templates or would they still need to have 3 different ones?

Thanks
M

Hi M,

1.You install 3 times WP in each directory and then upload the theme or you can use a WP multisite
2.The simplest way is to create a button and link all the sites.
3.If you use WP multisite then all your users will be shared, more information here.

Thank you so much writing back!
- is this multisite theme hard to implement? Is it as easy as uploading a normal WP theme?
- does this mean that I have to uninstall my current AppTheme to install the multisite? Will this override what I already have?
- in your message, are you recommending that I keep it simple by not using multisite but just upload the 3 themes into different directories?
- in your message, what did you mean by "more information" in point 3?

It's not difficult to use WPMU.

You'll have something like this:

www.yourwebsite.com
www.theme1.yourwebsite.com
www.theme2.yourwebsite.com
www.theme3.yourwebsite.com

Each site on each sub-domain.

To use shared users database, check this tutorial: Implementing the WordPress Shared Users Table Trick

This is not a theme but a WP configuration.

You can migrate your single install to multisite http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating..._3.0_Multisite

Depends on what you want to do.
