Ever got tired of your blog theme and had wanted to change it? You have your dream theme selected and ready to change it to become the active theme of your blog but afraid of how it will eventually look? Then you quickly switch it active. take a quick “peek” at your blog and then immediately revert back to your old theme before you feel that your readers might start puking?
Well, not to worry, here is the perfect solution. There is a plugin which is called Theme Test Drive. You can easily upload this plugin onto your wp-content/plugins/ area and it will bring up an option under your “Presentation” header option which should now have an extra sub-header menu option called “Theme Test Drive”. Once you choose this option, it can easily allow you to change your wordpress blog theme to any theme that is uploaded in your wp-theme folder.
The best part is, only the admin logged in(yourself) will be able to see this new theme when you visit your blog. All other general public will only see the already set theme as it was before. They will not notice any changes at all. Pretty cool ey?
Simple Steps to Enable Theme Test Drive plugin
1) Download the plugin from here
2) Upload it into your wp-content/plugins/ folder
3) Go to your wp-admin area and activate the plugin under your “Plugins” header option
4) Once activated, go to Presentation -> Theme Test Drive
You should see an image like this on the left.
5) Choose the theme that you like and preview happily. Once you like the theme and ready to show it to the public, just activate the theme as you normally would.
