# Child theme or multiple page/header.php?

 * Hi,
 * I need to be able to deliver 4/5 child themes on the same site at the same time–
   is this possible?
 * You might think “Why?” Well because I am making an event website that has a different
   colour palette, logo and navigation for each event.
 * As I understand it, you can only have one active child theme running at any one
   time.
 * What I want to be able to do is offer-up the following changes for 4, perhaps
   5 different sections on a site:
    -  • **Colour change** – change the colour of styles of headline text and backgrounds
      for each different section.
    - • **Navigation change** – change main nav for each section
    - • **Logo change** – change logo for each section.
 * I have solved the nav issue with a plugin, but I thought that I could use different
   child themes for each section and alas I understand/believe that I cannot.
 * Clearly one solution would be to have completely separate sites for each section,
   but this sounds time-consuming and clumsy. Having said that, it would be relatively
   easy for me to do this.
 * The other solution I believe is to create different headers for each section,
   called-up by header.php and perhaps thus I could change the logo on each page.
 * I am happy to research and make some changes, unfortunately I cannot show you
   the site – so all I can ask is whether I should use multiple child themes, sort
   this via page templates and header.php or if it is the easiest option, build 
   4/5 micro sites and link them to the main site.
