WordPress Plugin: Theme Switcha

Announcing my latest WordPress plugin, Theme Switcha! There are many theme-switch 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 code as focused and solid as possible. Only essential theme-switching features have been added, along with a simple yet informative UI. Theme Switcha gives you a consistent, quality theme-switching experience that you can optionally share with your visitors.

Theme Switcha – All your themes ready for switching

Plugin Features

Theme Switcha is Packed full of features:

Enables you to develop new themes while visitors use the default theme

Control who can switch themes (admins, users with passkey, or everyone)

Administrators can switch themes directly via the WP Admin Area

Enable visitors to switch and preview themes on the front-end

Each visitor can choose their own theme

Send preview links to clients via the passkey

Theme Switcha makes it easy for the site admin to preview and develop new themes without changing the default theme. So visitors will continue to use your site normally without ever knowing that you are testing new themes behind the scenes. And if you want to enable your visitors to switch themes, you can do that as well by adding a shortcode to any WP Post or Page. Then each visitor will be able to select and preview any of your WordPress themes.

Useful for things!

Theme Switcha is useful for things like:

Maintenance mode – display a temporary theme to visitors while you update your primary theme

Theme test drive – preview and test new themes without disrupting anything on the frontend

Theme development – perfect for developing new themes to fit your existing site content

Client presentations – send clients special "theme preview" links to show off new templates

The beauty of Theme Switcha is that it's all 100% transparent: visitors will never know that you are hard at work testing and building new themes behind the scenes.
