• Is it at all possible to utilize something similar to WP-Launcher (or the ‘Ultimate Coming Soon Page’) within a sub-page?

    I currently own and operate two gaming servers, and am looking to open a sub-page specifically for the second server, but I’d like to create a placeholder. Instead of slapping some cheesy graphic into the page, I’d like to make use of some sort of Coming Soon plugin, but that’d require using two themes on the same site (which I’m not entirely sure is possible).

    If it IS possible, are there any tutorials available? How “difficult” would it be for a novice WP user?

    Thanks!

    [No bumping, thank you.]

    Hi Brandon!

    Not sure what you mean by a “sub-page”, but yes it’s possible to run a second theme. However, how you do it depends on your specific needs.

    The basic answer to running multiple sites from a single install is to run Multisite, but depending on your needs this might be overkill. Multisite will basically let you run separate-but-connected sites, each of which is independent and can have its own theme and such. This can be done using subdomains or subdirectory type layouts.

    Running a separate theme for just a sub-page without using multisite is somewhat difficult to do, and would depend on the particular plugin or code you wanted to use. The easiest way would be just to make a custom Page Template in your theme and assign it to your page.

    But without more info on how you plan on creating this subpage, it’s hard to give definitive answers to your question. Custom problems require custom solutions, and when you’re talking about customizing your site, then how you want to manage it makes a difference in the methodology.

    Also, I tried to look at your site to see how you were doing it, but the domain name you listed on your Twitter account expired at the beginning of the month, according to GoDaddy. Might want to check on that.
