Title: Ryan’s Theme Switcher Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Ryan’s Theme Switcher * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/) * I’m using it, it’s working just fine. Except for a little glitch that I discovered by accident today: doesn’t matter what theme you’re in, if you click on the “ home” link in the header you get a reload of my original “default” theme, Quentin from [pikemurdy](http://www.pikemurdy.com/). I’ve looked at source on 30 different sites today, and I can’t see one damn thing different from source on my page from all those. I see some using a different scripting setup, but that’s not germane…. * I absolutely am flummoxed. It was just an accident that I even clicked on the header link….

Likewise on a cat change. Bang. Back to my default. * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169625) * Hmmmmmm….. Root, do you think installing Kubrick would “fix” this? If that’s it, then Ryan needs to do some tweaking I think…. * [dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/) * (@dawg) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169672) * I notice that with your site, I do not have that problem as I have no Quentin on my server but it also does not happen with Sunset, yeah I know I have no header link 🙂 * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169674) * Okay, wait a sec…. dawg, what do you mean by “no header link”? * [dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/) * (@dawg) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169675) * If you click on my header there is no link! Unless you have changed it. * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169676) * Ah. On “Sunset” this is true, there is no “header link” – the link to P O V is in the horizontal nav. * And you do not want to know how dumb I really am, I think (or maybe you do….) Anyway, I think it’s the dif between putting the addy as “…opinion/” and “…opinion/ index.php”. * Which if true (and I’ll be in “check mode” tomorrow – too late tonight) will make me feel REALLY stupid, but then again, no knowledge is ever wasted. * [dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/) * (@dawg) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169678) * Thats too funny, I do have my own blonde moments, not too often though * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169679) * Yah. I CAN laugh at my own idiocies, I promise you…. I’ll report back tomorrow! * [Ryan Boren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryan/) * (@ryan) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169684) * It’s all about cookies. The theme cookie is set against the Blog Address. If you are visting your site through a URI that is different than your Blog Address, the cookie won’t do it’s thing. The usual cause is a www prefix. * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169690) * Nope – no www prefix, Ryan, and thanks for posting. The single dif so far is as described above…. * I’ll do some concerted testing tomorrow after we haul hay in the morning – gotta feed the 4-feets first. I’ll report back as soon as I have something concrete to show…. believe me, at this point it will no doubt be something even an idiot should know (so I’m obviously even DUMBER than that….!) * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169943) * Ryan: I had to change this line in each header`` to a straight `index.php` URL call. * I haven’t set up but one category really yet, I still have to look to see what happens from there, Root. * [Root](https://wordpress.org/support/users/root/) * (@root) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169960) * Thanks for that – I am following this closely. I am beginning to see it on other sites now. Nevertheless – in fairness I should add that Ryans device is a very nifty piece of kit, and he has done masses of work on all things themes – which is why we are now having a lot of fun. Bound to be the odd glitch. Cookies are temperamental anyway. * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169962) * Yeah – cookies ARE the devil in a lot of ways…. Oh yes, I LOVE the theme-switcher, and have no plans to go away from it! * [Root](https://wordpress.org/support/users/root/) * (@root) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169965) * Now if I could just uninstall K******………………… * Thread Starter [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ryans-theme-switcher/#post-169966) * We’ll work on that, okay? I’m sure there must be a way – it truly makes no sense that I and others have no need for it, but you are required to keep it! Nonsensical, totally illogical….
