Testing themes question

I’m pretty sure that there’s a plugin for this somewhere on the boards, I just can’t remember where it is anymore.

Other than that, the only way that I can think of testing themes is to use a separate install on your server; or you could install WordPress on your own computer and test it out there.

Try this plugin: https://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/08/preview-theme-plugin/

If you have some extra room, setup a sub-folder/sub-directory on your site and install wp in there. Use it as a test blog. That way it wont affect your live blog.

Couldn’t you create a test page and use the theme on the page?

edit: wait, now that i check.. hmm maybe not. I thought that different themes could be applied to separate pages. Heh.

Along with macmanx suggestion:

https://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/ThemeSwitcher

When this is installed and activated you can pass a query in your url of the theme’s name:

https://my.site/?wptheme=My%20Test%20Theme

I always test live :)But thats probably my inconsitancy ?? ??
But it works the best since I some what obligate myselve to make things work ?? ?? (owyeah I always make backups ?? ??

good mcmike.

I have had more than one instance of ‘oops no backups’ before.

These days I have lots of backups. And some of my backups have backups.
