• Has any one shared the following dichotomy? On the one hand Ryans otherwise fantastic theme switcher will not work at all unless K******* is installed as a theme. On the other K******* does not contain the theme switcher. So people get logged out and are stuck in the default. Handy that.

  • I as well. I don’t do “fancy” mostly, other than a few plugins and some themes. No possibility this is something to do with differing versions of php?

    On the first place, the theme switcher is as the name says a switcher so if you have only one the installed what would you switch?!
    Then, you need to add the following code to make the plugin work

    <?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>
    <li>
    <h2><?php _e('Themes'); ?></h2>
    <?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>

    So, that wil ensure you will get the site working even if there is no theme in the theme folder, and of course there is no neeed of kubrick or classic themes because when no theme is in the wp-content/thmes/ the defaul (in the root) is used so just use any theme.

    If you want a working example, i’ve se up a demo blog to try out my new theme, equiX… so check this and you will see demo.wp-themes

    So I go to your blog and what do I see in the theme switcher? Default and Classic.

    Ummmmmmmm

    What my particular problem has been all along with style switcher/theme changer is it works fine on the index page of my site. However, when I click on any particular individual post, it defaults back to the old style and doesn’t show the theme that I’ve chosen.

    I notice that ‘ifelse’s links are different to mine [same as what’s on Alex King’s site’] and I wanted to know what I need to do to change it.

    [My site theme link goes like this…]

    [ifelse’s site theme link/Alex King’s theme links go like this…]

    https://www.endturn.com/words/index.php?wptheme=Gespaa+theme+-+Two+Columns

    My point is, how do I get my link to show:

    “index.php?wptheme=blah+blah”

    and not

    “blog?ts_theme=blah”

    I’m thinking if I change the coding, wherever it needs to be changed, my blog themes will work nicely, just like yours.

    This has been driving me crazy for a loooooooong time, so any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    “Also…1.2 themes DO NOT WORK in 1.5. They need to be modified to be compatible.”

    I’m not sure where this comes from, but to verify I just dropped my 1.2 templates (index.php, wp-comments.php and wp-layout.css) into a test setup of 1.5. Besides a few adjustments due to errors from non-existent functions (plugins I no longer use), I had no issues using my 1.2 “theme”.

    Just stirring the pot.
