WP Theme Switcher

WP Theme Switcher is a developer tool that lets you preview and build new themes on a live site without affecting what visitors see. Visitors always see the default theme activated in the admin panel, while you can switch between themes for testing and development.

• Visitor-safe previewing: Only your session sees the switched theme. All other users continue viewing the default theme, so you can develop or test without downtime or disruption.
• Simple activation: Works directly from the admin interface. No complex setup or configuration required.
• Child theme support: Follows a naming convention where child themes append -child to the parent theme name, making it easy to test parent-child relationships.
• Best practice guidance: Includes recommendations to avoid changing settings or published content while switching themes, reducing the risk of unintended side effects.

This tool is designed for developers who need to iterate on theme designs or troubleshoot theme issues on a production site without taking the site offline or creating a staging environment.
