Our analysis

AI-assisted

Page Theme is a WordPress plugin that allows you to display a different theme for each page or post on your blog. It features a user-friendly interface for easy configuration. This plugin is suitable for users who want to customise the appearance of individual pages or posts on their WordPress site.

The plugin has been available since December 2012 and is compatible with WordPress up to version 3.5.0. However, it may not function correctly in very complex setups due to limitations in how WordPress detects the current page or post.

Best for: This plugin suits users looking to customise their WordPress blog's appearance on a per-page basis.

What it does well

  • Allows different themes for each page or post
  • User-friendly configuration interface
  • Free to download from WordPress.org

Where it falls short

  • Last updated in December 2012
  • Limited compatibility with complex setups
  • May not work with versions of WordPress beyond 3.5.0

Verdict

Page Theme offers a specific functionality for theme customisation but has limitations due to its age and compatibility issues.

From the developer

CyanSmoker's own description of Page Theme, lightly tidied.

  • Keep updated! http://nexus.zteo.com/
  • This plugin can be used to display a different theme for each page of your blog.
  • This plugin can be used to display a different theme for each one of your blog posts.
  • The interface used to configure this is very user-friendly. Even friendlier since v1.3.
  • Many thanks to Stephen Carroll whose domain page’s script motivated me to write this plugin.
  • Thanks also go to emposha.com for their image selection script, which I shamelessly hacked and surely made worse.

Limitations

  • Due to WordPress selecting themes and stylesheets very early on when building a page, I cannot use WordPress’ “official” way to detect the current page/post. Therefore, you may find that this plugin does not work correcly if your setup is extremely exotic. Contact me if this happens.
