Preview Theme Wordpress Plugin
August 16, 2007
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.

Hi back at ya ;)
If you have you own personal blog (not on Wordpress.com) then you can add plugins (little programs that add more functionality to the way your blog works). This particular plugin can allow you, as a blog owner, to preview new themes that you have uploaded to your Wordpress theme directory without having to change it directly. ;) Works like magic!

Tend to do the previewing on a testing side so that I can mess around with it without any consequences! lol!

The great thing is that you can do this now with your own site and not have to worry about there being any consequences. Think of it a blog changing room! lol!

[...] Εννοείται πως δεν έχω καμία όρεξη (είναι και σχεδόν αδύνατο) να αναπαράγω τα χαρακτηριστικά του webz σε ένα demo blog. Οπότε άρχισα χθες να ψάχνω για ένα plugin με το οποίο θα μπορώ να κάνω preview το theme που δουλεύω. Το πιο καλό που βρήκα και που δουλεύει ολόσωστα ως τώρα είναι το Preview Theme Wordpress Plugin.
