Description

Matty Theme QuickSwitch makes it easy to activate a theme without needing to visit the “Appearance -> Themes” screen in the WordPress admin.

A new menu in the WordPress Toolbar lists all themes currently available on your website, with quick links to activate each individually.

Theme QuickSwitch is particularly useful when developing or debugging WordPress themes, as it saves time in getting you to the place you need to be.
