I have created a twenty-eleven child theme, I want to know if its possible to only load that child theme on certain pages, maybe with the custom page templates?

I have looked via google and on here and have found nothing on the twenty-eleven or very outdated posts.

Thanks

you can use page templates for that if you have a page template within your them, and if its a different theme all together then you can use Page Theme which is a plugin that can be used to display a different theme (not template) for each page/post of your blog.

Great thanks, so how would I go about setting up and telling a custom page template to load the child theme files & css when that template is selected? Any links would be great, kind of a newbie to custom page templates, I did a search and what I find does not seem to relate to the new setup of the twenty-eleven theme. – matt Jul 19 '11 at 16:39
From your comment i can tell that you got this whole thing wrong, you use either custom page template which is based on the current theme or the plugin i linked which lets you specify a theme per page – Bainternet♦ Jul 19 '11 at 17:38
Gotcha thanks. Unfortunately that plugin doesnt seem to like child themes, guess I just have to make a theme and test it. – matt Jul 20 '11 at 2:15
