   I'm trying to load a child theme when on certain posts, pages or categories with the code below. It loads the child theme's css just fine, however, the child themes' template files don't load.

   If I explicitly set the child theme via the Appearance setting in WP 2.7 everything works as expected. What am I doing wrong or not doing that I should do?

   function mp_get_theme() {
   
       global $wp_query;
       $post = $wp_query->post;
       $id = $post->ID;
   
   	// should I load another theme?
   
   	if ($post->ID == 836 || $post->post_parent == 836 || (is_archive() && is_category('14')) || (is_single() && in_category('14')))
   	{
   	return 'newtheme';
   	}else{
   	return 'defaulttheme';
   	}
   }
   
   add_filter('template', 'mp_get_theme');
   add_filter('stylesheet', 'mp_get_theme');

   I'm having the same problem.

   what is the most simple way to say "if in category X, set theme & stylesheet to Y"?
