I modified the plugin to add an easy way to preview the themes. The little hack I did creates a page in the <b>Presentation</b> tab called <b>Preview Themes</b>. It will list the themes installed in the same way as they are listed in the <b>Themes</b> page. All you'd have to do is click the screenshot to preview the theme you like. If you like, you can get the hacked version of the plugin from my website at <a href="http://blog.oneortheother.info/?p=167">http://blog.oneortheother.info/?p=167</a> N. That is a very cool article.

Try putting a few new themes into your themes folder and previewing any of them. That'll help you determine whether it's your blog or the preview plugin. Hi Jase,
Are you able to preview any other themes? Try putting a few new themes into your themes folder and previewing any of them.

That’ll help you determine whether it’s your blog or the preview plugin.

However, the above is exactly what i have been doing. Ive uploaded a basic wordpress theme and renamed the folder "beta" and changed the css title to Theme Name: beta and then tried http://www.yourblog.com/index.php?preview_theme=beta but nothing is happening other than a screen refresh. Maybe its the theme i am using on my blog. Its called See-you-at-the-beach and ive had problems with other plugins in the past which is the reason why i want to redesign the site using this plug in. Back to the drawing board! Hi Travis, thanks for replying.

At the top of the file will be it's name, like: <strong>Theme Name: Modern</strong> You then take that name and add it to what you said above: <strong>?preview_theme=Modern</strong> The reason you're not seeing anything now is because you haven't told it which theme to preview. To preview a theme on your blog's index, it would look like: <b>http://www.yourblog.com/index.php?preview_theme=Modern</b> Give that a try, should work for you. Jase,

The reason you’re not seeing anything now is because you haven’t told it which theme to preview.

To preview a theme on your blog’s index, it would look like:

http://www.yourblog.com/index.php?preview_theme=Modern

Give that a try, should work for you.

Ive installed it successfully and installed a couple of new themes. Ive renamed the folder and the top line in the css to something really simple and "?preview_theme=" does nothing but refresh the screen. Does anyone have any ideas...its as if the plugin wasnt installed at all. Jase Great plugin, but i cannot get it to work! Ive installed it successfully and installed a couple of new themes.
