 * I can’t find it, so I’m posting here…
 * Can I use multiple Themes in a single WordPress?
    If so.., how?
 * Not templates.., but Themes.
    Like having Themes X on page 1 and Theme Y on page
   2.
 * Thanks in advance…
 * Cheers, Rogier

 * In that way you can not.
 * You can have multiple themes installed and give visitors an option to chose one
   with a plugin like theme switcher, but that also applies to the whole blog not
   to pages.

 * don’t know if this helps…
 * i adapted an old theme switcher plugin to switch themese based on grep matches
   to URLs with this code:
 *     ```
       $match_URI = array
       (	'\/info'	=>		'theme_X',
       );
   
       foreach ($match_URI as $pattern => $theme_switch)
       {	if (preg_match('/'.$pattern.'/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
       	{	$smart_theme_switch=$theme_switch;	}
       }
   
       if($smart_theme_switch && file_exists(get_theme_root() . "/$smart_theme_switch"))
       {	add_filter('template','use_smart_theme_switch');
       	add_filter('stylesheet','use_smart_theme_switch');
       }
   
       function use_smart_theme_switch($value)
       {	global $smart_theme_switch;
       	return $smart_theme_switch;
       }
       ```
   
 * you fill the $march_URI array with grep matches to the URL and the theme name
   to switch to. obviously it’s no use in a theme’s functions.php – so you have 
   to make it into a plugin

 * I have found another solution – a plugin.
    I dunno about using different themes
   on static pages, but – to use different themes in different categories and posts
   from this categories, you can use [this cool plugin – Themed Categories](http://download.mikelopez.info/2006/10/17/wordpress-themed-categories-plugin/)
   works on WP 2.3 – 2.6 🙂
 * > How to Use
   >  To use it, simply go to Manage->Categories, edit the category you
   > wish to assign a theme to, select the theme from the “Select category themed”
   > dropdown, and save it.
