  • Not quite sure what you mean by “FULL themes”.

    But you can give the user the choice of themes by setting up a Query for that purpose. Here are two examples:

    1. ?theme=2014 for Twenty Fourteen and ?theme=2015 for Twenty Fifteen (two standard WordPress themes)
    2. ?2014 for Twenty Fourteen and ?2015 for Twenty Fifteen (two standard WordPress themes), using the fact that a Query Keyword can be specified without an = when there is no Query Value specified

    Please let me know if you need any more information.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply. By full themes I mean as opposed to certain pages or posts, you can have the ability to have the user use all pages and posts in one theme and then switch back to another complete theme, which is what I believe you answered with the Query information.

    I am brand new to WP and don’t quite understand how to set up a Query, is there something that I can take a look at to show me the exact steps on how to do that? I have been hoping that it was something that I could have done since I have 2 themes, one is a dating theme and the other one is a regular social network theme.

    On the screenshot I see Query Value, is this where I would set up a Query?

    Where do users have the option to switch between the two themes, in the WP dashboard or on the site itself?

    Thanks so much for your time.

    My discussion of Query is referring to the URL Query. For example, this URL has two queries in it: https://example.com/blog/?music=rock&year=1960

    Your explanation of Full Themes is not what I expected, so there is a different solution than what I mentioned in my previous post: Sticky and Override.

    On the Advanced Settings tab of the plugin’s Settings page, you will want to read the Sticky and Override section.

    Here is the easiest (for you, not necessarily for your users) way to do what you want to. I would have a Page on your public web site called something like Setting Your Theme. Presuming the URL for that Page is https://example.com/setting_your_theme then you would have two links displayed on that page:

    1. Dating – https://example.com/setting_your_theme?theme=dating
    2. Social Networking https://example.com/setting_your_theme?theme=networking

    On my plugin’s Settings tab, you would go to the “For A Query Keyword=Value on any Page, Post or other non-Admin page” section, and define the two Queries: Query Keyword is theme, and Query Value is dating for one and networking for the other.

    Those two entries will now appear in the Sticky and Override section of the Advanced Settings tab, and you can select both Override and Sticky for each of them.
