  • I don’t know anything about Squeeze pages, but you could probably create a page template [1] using your old theme (we’ll call it theme-2) as a basis.

    So take the page template you want to use from theme-2 and move it into your current theme directory. Do the same thing with the style.css, header.php and footer.php files from theme-2. IMPORTANT: rename them to something like page-theme2.php, header-theme2.php, footer-theme2.php and style-theme2.css. In the page template, edit get_header() [2] and get_footer() [3] so they look something like: 

    <?php get_header('header-theme2') ;?>
<!-- your page content goes here -->
<?php get_footer('footer-theme2') ;?>

    You will also want to edit header-theme2.php so it calls the right stylesheet:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="PATH/TO/STYLESHEET/style-theme2.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    Also note that it’s very possible your old theme has a bunch of custom functions that will not work without also moving those over (as needed) from theme2/functions.php.

    This is actually going to be a fair amount of work and may be a bit involved, depending on your comfort level with WordPress themes. It might be easier to just find whatever the Squeeze functions are on your old page template and copy them over to the new theme.
