   Hi, I would like to showcase several themes under one blog URL (the same content of the blog). I do not want to switch between themes using any kind of visible widget/option, but rather by using a parameter in URL:

   http://www.url.com/themename1/
   http://www.url.com/themename2/

   or

   http://www.url.com/index.php?theme=themename1
   http://www.url.com/index.php?theme=themename2

   Is there any add-on that would allow me to do so? Or maybe it's a built-in capability I'm not aware of?

   Best Regards,
   Prez

   OK, just found this one, don't know how I missed it before...
   Case closed, I guess.

   Hey I'm having the exact same issue -- and I've come across the same solution as you have. The solution falls a little short for me though.

   I too would like to link directly to a theme preview. Using a theme switching plugin, I can achieve this effect no problem: http://www.blog.com/index.php?theme=classic ...or whatever.

   The trouble is, as soon as the user navigates away from the page they are on, they are back to the default theme. Is there a way to constantly pass "?theme=classic" in the URL so that the user can actually explore different pages of the blog without leaving the previewed theme behind?

   Hi theandyreport,
   You can store the variable in a cookie:

   Or in the session:

   I'd go for the cookie option though.
