Detail

Advanced Theme Switcher essentially allows you to offer your users the chance to switch between different themes.

Or, it provides you with the opportunity to profile different theme designs on a Multisite or BuddyPress site quickly and easily through the frontend.

And it works perfectly well for any WordPress, Multisite or BuddyPress site.

The plugin comes complete with a handy widget that allows you to offer either a list or drop-down choice of themes :

And, once activated, it’ll look much the same as this (depending, of course, on your original theme) :

Users can change BuddyPress themes

The coolest thing about this tool (for us at least) is that it allows us to show previews of different theme designs via nice URLs, for example:

Once you are on those URLs you can click around to get a real feel for how the theme works, looks and feels.

How cool is that… a must have for anyone wanting to offer their users maximum flexibility of personalization, or demonstrate to clients different layout options on a WordPress, Multisite or BuddyPress site.

You won’t find a better theme switcher available for WordPress, Multisite or BuddyPress on the web… enjoy!

Works seamlessly with WPMU DEV Themes including:

1. WPMU DEV BuddyPress Themes – Fantastic, cutting edge, beautiful BuddyPress themes (that work on regular WordPress and Multisite too!)

2. WordPress / Multisite CMS Themes – Themes designed to get the most out of Multisite and WordPress or as great front page themes
