    I am about to start a website. I want two themes with two altogether different functionality working under a single domain. I want one theme to be static (for SEO purpose) and another theme to be dynamic. I want the static theme to direct to dynamic theme from homepage.

    I searched a bit on internet on how to do that and I came to know that it can be done through either subdomain or subdirectory. There is also a functioanality called Multisite but I don’t want to use it as it advanced in nature and I am not that good with wordpress.

    My questions-

    1) Please let me know step by step process on how I can install second theme in subdirectory?

    2) If I run both these themes how can I access admin part of these two themes. Will there be two different urls? There will be two different login dashboard under the same domain?

    3) Will it require two different databases? If yes then how is it goig to work?

    Please help me out as I am not too mush familiar with wordpress. Only a bit familiar. Thank You

    After reading through what you’ve said, I can see what you are looking for, but you aren’t using the “correct” terminology, so I was a bit lost to start with.

    I’m guessing that what are you looking for is two seperate site that look different? There’s two ways to do this.

    The first is to have two different installations of WordPress. Like you’ve said, you can set up a new installation in a sub-directory. This will leave you with two different systems, and you will need ot log into each one seperately.

    The second is you can look at creating a network of sites. This is a bit more complicated but it will let you administer two (or more) sites from one central area.
