    Hello,

    this is my first try with a wordpress theme. So far everything works out nicely. I have customized a wordpress theme for my needs and now I have a questions.

    So far it´s more a portfolio site than a blog. Now I wanted to add a new page and inside of this page I want to start a blog. Is there a possibility to add another wordpress theme (a normal blog layout) inside of this side ? Maybe with a plugin or something ?

    Thanks for any help.

    Not easily, but maybe with a trick.

    This plugin seems to allow different themes for different users. Maybe you can make an extra user for the blog.

    Otherwise you're going to have to make another stylesheet and a PHP template for the blog or so.

    Just thinking out loud. Look around a bit in the plugin sections (and use Google or something) for ideas.

    inside of this page I want to start a blog.

    By that do you mean another instance of WordPress where that new blog has pages, posts, categories?

    If you are wanting to just display a particular set of posts when visiting that page, you could use a simple page redirect to a category url.

    The page redirekt sounds interesting and could do the job.

    I tried to change the Permalink to a categorie but this doesn´t work. Is there another way ? Can´t find anything about it.

    Use the technique here to redirect a page to a category url (How to easily display links to both Pages and Categories in the blog navigation header?).
