Preview Theme Wordpress Plugin
Here it is folks, a hacked version of themey’s hacked version of Ryan Boren’s original Preview Theme plugin.
Original Plugin Description
The Preview Theme Plugin allows you to take a quick peek at a theme without having to switch to it via the Presentation manager. By default, if you are logged in as a level 8 or above user, you can specify “preview_theme=Theme Name” in the URI query string to preview any installed theme. Regular blog readers will not be affected by this setting. They will still see the theme selected in Options->Presentation or the Theme Switcher plugin.
themey’s Changes to the Plugin
I have modified this slightly to return an unregistered user to the login/register page of the site.
My Addition to the Plugin
I modified Themey’s version to include a page in the “Presentation” tab to be able to easily click and preview themes in a different window.
Tested with Wordpress 2.2.1
Download: Preview Theme Wordpress Plugin (Version 0.9.2)
Instructions:
– Unzip the file and upload the preview_theme.php into your wp-plugins directory.
– Activate the plugin.
– Click on the “Presentation” tab.
– Click on the “Preview Themes” sub menu at the top.
– Click the theme links on the page to preview them.
