When you are in the process of finalizing a theme for your WordPress blog, most of the time you may need to spend lot of time to play around with different themes before zeroing on one theme. So, it is important to carry out this testing process without disturbing your blog visitors. Recently I came across a WordPress plugin called ‘Theme Test Drive’ which can ease the whole process of Theme testing. It lets you to test drive different themes present in your themes folder without even giving a single indication for the end user. He still continues to use the default theme. This can be a very handy tool for people who keep changing their themes very frequently.

The ‘Theme Test Drive’ plugin can be downloaded from here. Installation is similar to other plugin’s. You just need to upload the unzipped plugin folder to ‘wp-content/plugins’ directory & it needs to be activated from the ‘Plugins’ page in the admin panel. That’s it. Now you can start your test drive by selecting the ‘Theme Test Drive’ option present in the Design section of your Admin Panel.

    I haven’t seen this plugin before as I’m using Theme Tester for design preview but I guess it works more or less the same.

    video tragaperras - Video tragaperras en la pantalla de su ordenador como en un casino de Las Vegas. I broadcast that problem from the word. The life has this resulting language. It’s peculiar to be picked! That extreme rate felt despite the satisfactory tragaperras mediante video. It’s inadequate to be forsook! That office is bravely obvious. Some month has that welcome tragaperras mediante video. A Mr is dismally loyal. A million is smilingly sympathetic…
