Possible to have more than one Atahualpa themes installed?
 
I love my Atahualpa theme so much that I would like to have a second instance of it which will be customized for mobile devices. Then I will use the Any Mobile Theme Switcher plugin to direct mobile devices to that theme. Is it possible to have a second instance of Atahualpa installed? I know that I could just go into the wp-content/themes folder and copy atahaulpa to a new name, but I'm guessing it might not be so simple as that.

Did you search the forum?

Hi JD,

Not sure which keyword(s) would be optimal for a forum search. I tried "more than one" and "multiple" as keywords but there's a lot of noise in the results...

try looking at the sticky threads in this forum

Unless you know what keywords, I can't find it. There are 7 or 8 stickies there and none of them have topics relevant to my question.

ok, the long and short is yes it is possible, but you will have to do some work.

The theme stores all the options in a row of the wp-options table with an id of 'bfa_ata4'. So to make this work you will

1) need to make a copy of the theme folder and name it something different like 'atahualpa-mobile'
2) edit style.css and change the 'Theme Name' and 'Version' to something new
3) edit the theme code and change all references of 'bfa_ata4' to something else.
4) document what you have done so you can make the changes the next time Atahualpa is updated.

You will basically have created a new theme.

Muy muy! Thanks that is extremely helpful I'm very excited about doing this and having a separate theme for mobile devices.
