Hi again, after reading Thomas’ post, I wonder if I need to be using the hybrid theme – I am developing my own

I am hitting a wall trying to do this (in 3.2.1). I get the following notice:Undefined variable: stylesheet_uri and neither of the two stylesheets is loading – instead when I look at the source code I see the default style.css? I also don’t understand the following:
$stylesheet_uri, $stylesheet_dir_uri -
do I need to define each as:
$stylesheet_uri = stylesheet_uri();
$stylesheet_dir_uri = stylesheet_dir_uri();
Please help – this is actually the best solution for me since I want to change the layout depending on the page… thanks!

Hi guys Is it possible to load a specific style file for a page and all the children pages related to that page?

if ( is_page( 'about' ) ) (AND THEN SOMETHING WITH ALL CHILDREN PAGES)
		$stylesheet_uri = $stylesheet_dir_uri . '/style-about.css';

Just wondering... // Thomas

Hi
How about trouble with caching? will it cause trouble. One of my asp.net themes always have trouble with caching. Any resolutions?

Thanks the idea of switching the styles as per the contxt is nice. Have you ever experienced issues with cache when switching themes.

How about bypassing the cache. I always had problems if the different stylesheet is already in cache, then the theme wont be switched properly. I guess i need some sort of different names to store into cache.

Thanks, Justin. I’ve been looking for a solution just like this for some time. I also was wondering if you had given any thought to Dan’s question above?

This really is handy looking example. Never knew it was possible with WP itself. Have been using thesis to get things done but somedays want to use another theme and if it works with every theme I could use it instead of hacking every css file by hand.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been looking for a solution like this, however I’m still trying to create a solution that doesn’t require you to have a list of pages in the function – it would be nice to be able to grab this from the custom page or something similar so that it’s totally extensible rather than dependent on you adding to the list of pages with is_page().

Any thoughts?
