## Description

Freesoul Switch Themes allows you to load multiple themes on the same WordPress 
website.

You can assign a different theme in a permanent way, or just see a preview of a 
specific page or post with a different theme.

You will find a section on the edit page screen.

Having a theme preview while the website is public is useful when you are trying
to understand if the actual theme is causing an issue on the front-end.

Assigning a different theme on specific pages may be useful when you want a different
style only on some pages.

The actual version supports only the front-end and no custom post types.

## Screenshots

 * Settings in each single page and post

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `freesoul-switch-theme` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` 
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. You will find the plugin options in each single page and post and a global settings
    page under the plugins admin menu
 4. All done. Good job!

The plugin idea and implementation is really good, as it doesn’t seem to exist any
other plugin that switch themes “on the fly”, without requiring you to create menus
and options for the second theme to work. The plugin works as expected when used
to preview themes on posts or pages, but the part that changes the theme permanently
for specific posts doesn’t seem to work unless you modify the code manually to correct
two mistakes, and the author doesn’t seem to reply any longer on the support forums
to correct them… Anyway, thank you for the plugin.

It is used to switch themes on a permanent, page-by-page basis. Other similar plugins
were unstable, but this plugin is stable. I hope it will be available for a long
time.

As they say, everything ingenious is simple. This is a real salvation from a ton
of problems with one click. If some plugin you need uses Bootstrap (like Classified
Listing by RadiusTheme) and conflicts with your theme, The Freesoul Switch Theme
plugin will help you. Do you really need a network? If all you want is for different
collections of web pages to look very different, then you can probably achieve what
you want in a single site by using a plugin to switch themes, templates, or stylesheets—
Freesoul Switch Theme plugin. We are looking forward to the release of PRO for switching
themes for custom pages.
