I want to have a front end button or a menu option that a user can use to toggle between different skins (such as a light and dark version of the site). Is this possible? If so, how can I program this?
Hey there,
Thanks for writing in! Unfortunately this is not possible as switching between the dark and light versions of Integrity changes a lot of variables such as which CSS file gets output, which CSS files get output for other plugins such as shortcodes and WooCommerce, and how your CSS is dynamically generated for your site, so it is both a server-side and client-side issue.
Thanks!
Assuming that I want to switch between two different X themes, do you think that this plugin would be compatible with your theme? https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/advanced-theme-switcher/
Hey there,
The thing to consider with this is that a user would be able to “switch” between themes because it would all be the same theme. Different Stacks and various settings such as light and dark for Integrity are just options. The second example provided seems more likely to work for what you’re trying to accomplish, but you will likely need to implement a lot of custom work to get everything working properly. This should be kept in mind as we do not support 3rd party plugins as stated in our support policy. Any setup you would like to attempt with either of these plugins will need to be handled through the plugin developers themselves.
Thanks!
Perhaps if I explain what I am really trying to do it will make more sense and you can suggest a solution.
I am going to go into a meeting this week to show my client the website designs that I have created for them. I want to show them their site with a few different variations. For sample, here is a light version of your site and here is dark version. Here is your site with a script font for the headlines, and here is a version that uses a sans serif typeface.
I was under the impression that this is a simple matter of loading a CSS file that defines these things. Is this not something that I can do with X. If not I guess I could try to clone the site and have two separate installations of WordPress. I am just trying to find the easiest way to present it to the client without having to go into the admin panel and load new themes in front of them.
Hey,
the easiest solution would be to run a WordPress multi-site installation and have several installations which you’ve customized to your needs. This is also the safest thing so nothing goes wrong with your presentation at your client. Another thing you could do is export the Customizer settings one by one and then import them in front of your client and reload the page. We have an import and export setting for the Customizer.
Hope this helps!
Okay, thanks. I will look into multi-site. I have not messed around with that before.
Sounds great! 🙂
