Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records WP User Stylesheet Switcher version v2.2.0 as active, updated 10y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.6.
Overview
About this plugin
Sometimes, we just want to offer visitors simple variations of our website theme. Sometimes, we simply want to offer a stylesheet with improved accessbility. There are plugins that let you choose a different theme, but this plugin offers you to change only the stylesheet.
In the admin settings, you can configure as many different stylesheets as you want. Those possibilities are offered in a list on the front page.
The list of available stylesheets can be shown in a dropdown list or as a series of icons. It can be shown using the widget or in a page/post using the shortcode, or directly in the template using the php function.
On the frontend, when a choice is made in the dropdown list, the webpage is reloaded using the chosen stylesheet.
