Hello,

I have a WP site and theme up at MMA.BS - Global Mixed Martial Arts Community and I would like to have a category that takes you to a subdomain, and on that subdomain I want a different theme I already have selected. How difficult a process is that? Or is it impossible?

Thanks!

It is easy to do. Just set up your subdomain such as subdomain.mma.bs Then go your control panel in your hosting account and set up a new blog at subdomain.mma.bs since it is a totally different blog it can have a different theme. If you still have any question just let me know

Thanks!

What I'm really looking to do is have a One News type setup under one of the categories on my main theme. I'm not sure if I can do that from WITHIN the current premium theme, or if I have to use the One News premium theme on a subdomain. I just want that columned refreshing feed aggregation implemented on my site, covering topics/sites/people my visitors will be interested in.

I'm not sure if I'm overthinking, and don't have to use the One News premium theme, I just already have that theme and I like the basic look of it, just columns of feeds...

It’s a matter of what you think you can do with the theme – I really try to stay away from installing WP and databases multiple times – just more installs to update, keep admin info for, etc. I think that you could probably accomplish what you want to with a single WP install and one database.

just upload the extracted theme or skin to the appropriate folder and select.

I think you can get it done using a custom made template based theme which will make your life easy to manage the whole website under one admin panel.

I recently did this for www.aaronmoody.co.uk/blog
I found the actual set up OK, but can't figure out how to add in a favicon to a sub domain (favicon works for my main domain Aaron Moody but not the blog)
