Freesoul Switch Theme: load a different theme on specific pages

by Jose Mortellaro

Download
Description

Freesoul Switch Themes allows you to load multiple themes on the same WordPress website.

You can assign a different theme in a permanent way, or just see a preview of a specific page or post with a different theme.

You will find a section on the edit page screen.

Having a theme preview while the website is public is useful when you are trying to understand if the actual theme is causing an issue on the front-end.

Assigning a different theme on specific pages may be useful when you want a different style only on some pages.

The actual version supports only the front-end and no custom post types.

  1. Upload the entire freesoul-switch-theme folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. You will find the plugin options in each single page and post and a global settings page under the plugins admin menu
  4. All done. Good job!
  1. Settings in each single page and post

Good plugin, but some features don't work

By Anonymous User (anonymized_23278304) on May 18, 2025

The plugin idea and implementation is really good, as it doesn't seem to exist any other plugin that switch themes "on the fly", without requiring you to create menus and options for the second theme to work. The plugin works as expected when used to preview themes on posts or pages, but the part that changes the theme permanently for specific posts doesn't seem to work unless you modify the code manually to correct two mistakes, and the author doesn't seem to reply any longer on the support forums to correct them... Anyway, thank you for the plugin.

Simple and easy to use

It is used to switch themes on a permanent, page-by-page basis. Other similar plugins were unstable, but this plugin is stable. I hope it will be available for a long time.

Genius plugin!

By Vladimir Bender (Vovastik) on July 18, 2022

As they say, everything ingenious is simple. This is a real salvation from a ton of problems with one click. If some plugin you need uses Bootstrap (like Classified Listing by RadiusTheme) and conflicts with your theme, The Freesoul Switch Theme plugin will help you. Do you really need a network? If all you want is for different collections of web pages to look very different, then you can probably achieve what you want in a single site by using a plugin to switch themes, templates, or stylesheets — Freesoul Switch Theme plugin. We are looking forward to the release of PRO for switching themes for custom pages.
