How can I add extra layouts to my wp thesis themes, and apply different ones to specific pages and post? I specifically want one for the front page with three column and two similar two columns ones for the pages and a slightly different two column one for the posts.


Any info appreciated.


Thanks Anthony

In addition to getting an explicite answer here, I know two ways:


Doing the correct search. Very often that will give the best solution.
Study the code, and change it manually. Can be problematic with upgrades.

Hello AntMan,

I actually haven't tried it myself, however I have recently run into someone who is having the same difficulties as you. Do all Wordpress themes follow the exact same structure and positioning as far as elements go? Does each theme come packaged with the navbar to the left and the main content area to the right?

It is fairly safe to say that there is little to no organization in the WP community as far as developers go. They all develop independently to make add-ons for the WP core. Themes to my knowledge are a free for all, not the responsibility of the core WP team to ensure it's working properly.

You might need to learn CSS, HTML and PHP as it sounds to me that what you want to do is merge two different themes into one, each which may have different elements which require styling or functionality.
