How Theme Switcha – Easily Switch Themes for Development and Testing works
Show full descriptionShow less
Theme switching done right.
➡️ Preview any theme privately on the front-end
➡️ Develop themes privately behind the scenes
➡️ Enable your visitors to switch themes
There are many theme-switcher plugins but none of them provide the simplicity, performance, and reliability that I require for my own sites. So I wrote my own plugin using the WP API and kept the plugin as focused and solid as possible. Only essential theme-switching features have been added, along with a simple yet informative UI. This gives you a consistent, quality theme-switching experience that you can optionally share with your visitors.
➡️ Switch to an alternate theme for development while visitors use the default theme 🙂
What it’s for..
Theme Switcha:
Enables visitors to switch themes via the frontend
Enables admins to test alternate themes for debugging
Enables developers to build/customize themes privately
Enables you to create links that switch to specific themes
Enables live private previews of any installed theme
What it’s NOT for..
This plugin should not be used together with WordPress features such as the Theme Customizer, Widgets, and Menus. Doing so may result in private changes being made public on the current active theme. Learn more.
