hehe, thanks, I’ll mess with it when I get more time ?? Sorry, but here are a few more questions. Thank you all soo much for my ignorance here, but making mistakes…hehe I am learning. I assume that I’d mess with the one in the header files of my different room files, correct? Not the main header.php under yokoco-op??? I guess it would make sense to only mess around with the roomb-header.php and roomc-header.php since they are the two pages I’m having issues. I wonder if I need to edit the header.php file under each theme (/themes/YokoCo-op/roomb and /themes/YokoCo-op/roomc. Should I do each file (rooma-header.php, roomb-header.php and both header.php’s) under each theme?

I hope to become more knowledgeable about what i’m doing, eventually…hehe. Instead of spending hours with something and going insane when something like that could have probably taken me less than an hour.

I appreciate the kudos though. ??

Do I just add #wrapper to page.php? I don’t know much about how to add #wrapper. When you say css, do you mean style.css?

It will probably be evident by how I ‘tried’ to do the pages below, that I don’t know what i’m doing…hehe, but here goes…

I have to say, again, that I don’t understand much about CSS or php or WordPress. I bought the software Artiseer to design those different pages. I made 4 themes. I have a main one named YokoCo-op. And the others, I named rooma, roomb and roomc. I nested the different rooms under the Yoko one…My directory structure is \themes\YokoCo-op\rooma and \themes\YokoCo-op\roomb and finally \themes\YokoCo-op\roomb. Under the \themes\YokoCo-op, I created a few files from what I was reading on these forums and on the WordPress documentation. I created page themes for each room. I also made header.php files for each room. These six files are under the yokoco-op folder. The rooma-header.php file contains the location of the style.css (the line of code specifying that is: <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/rooma/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> Anyway, I did this for each room. Also, I have rooma.php (which is the page theme that contains the code: `<?php
/*
Template Name: rooma
*/
?>
<?php include (‘rooma-header.php’); ?>` I asked on the forums for help and someone mentioned to try putting that php include statement there that points to my header….that points to the location of the style.css ….

hehe, am I losing anyone yet, cause I am lost…haha.

Anyway, it was hours upon hours of playing around with stuff until I finally got it to work… (when I put the page template in the yokocoop folder, I got the option of applying a certain page theme to the page I wanted to apply it to).

Now my only issue is the centering…It’s frustrating, cause the coding, the style page…it’s all the same, with the only difference of the colors and the header.

I’m ready to tell the preschool peeps i’m doing this for (volunteer work) that I cannot figure it out…and they might just have to go with one theme completely. But i’m still trying to figure it out…and elicit help from you great peeps here ??

I hope this showed you how much I don’t know what i’m doing heheheh, but hope you sort of followed what I was trying to say above.

Thanks for reading. ?? If you have any other specifics on how I did it, i’ll try to explain better when I have more time…have a good night. ??

Thank you for the information.

One final question is would you know what might cause the formatting errors (in IE everything is shifted to the left for room B and room C, but fine with room A. In Firefox, everything is centered the way it should be, but a line at the tops of room b and room c comes up.

Each theme (for room a, room b, and room c) is the same with the exception of a different header and the color theme. So I can’t understand why everything goes to the left on room b and room c. The link is here.

If I could figure this out, I’d be happy. hehe ?? Thank you again.

I have page templates, and apply them to those pages, but for the style.css, I will point that to whichever theme I’m trying to mimic for that page. I don’t understand how to get color changes and a different header for the pagea (rooms B and C) without using the other themes style.css file? (If that makes any sense).

Thanks for the reply…I’ll check that link when I get home from work. ??

Hmm, I got it to work…sort of. If I view the pages in Firefox, it works fine, but if I go to Internet Explorer, the content goes to the left (when it normally goes centered).

The coding in my files are all the same, but point to different themes depending on the page.

Geez…this is frustrating!!!

hehe thx for the help.

This page template…ThemeA-1.php would be under my themeA directory, correct?

Thanks. It’s not working right yet…hehe. I’m through for tonight. ?? I need to leave and come back…maybe this will make sense to me later.

Much appreciated responses though. Have a good one MichaelH!

Can I point to a header.php in a different folder?

For example…my theme is themeA and under this, I have another theme, say themeA-1. Can I point it to say
`<?php
/*
Template Name: ThemeA-1
*/
?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/themeA-1/header.php’); ?>

Thank you for your response. I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Am I going in the wrong direction with what I posted here?
