How To Test A New WordPress Theme Without Affecting Live Site
Posted on May 26th, 2010 by admin in Domain Development, Domain News | 3 Comments »
Since I am always looking to improve my wordpress-running sites, I am always on the lookout for plugins that can make this task easier.
Even though I could do this on my localhost or on my test server, I thought it would be neat if there was a way for me to test what a new theme looks like on a live WordPress site without affecting the site’s flow or visitors.
Firstly I thought – awesome idea – I might actually write a useful feature for once that can become a popular WordPress plugin.
Like I do always before I start writing any new WordPress code, I went to Google and searched for “test wordpress theme” and the first link that came up was what I was looking for – so no new code writing for me
.
The “Theme test drive” plugin by Vladimir Prelovac lets you “safely test drive any theme on your blog as administrator, while visitors still use the default one.”
It works like a charm, I am currently testing my new theme for a site while my visitors are none the wiser!

Nice one mate. Thanks for the useful link.
You could write some new code anyway…perhaps you could make some improvements
I was a little unsure when I saw the plugin page say:
2 people say it works.
3 people say it’s broken.
but I’m going to give it a shot now.
I dont think WordPress Testdrive is working anymore.. not with WP 3.1
Would you consider tweaking it to make it work?
Or would that be too much to ask?
Please respond, I (and many with me) would love to have it working again.
