 * Hi Jeff,
    Can you please explain how I can use your plugin to develop a new theme
   while the old one is still running? I’m confused what to do under settings. Thanks
 * Adam

 * Hi Adam,
 * Sure, here are the steps:
 * 1) Visit the plugin settings and enable the setting, “Enable Switching”
 * 2) Under “Available Themes”, you will see all themes that are available for switching;
   click one to enable it only for you (admin).
 * Whichever theme you enable via the plugin settings will be available to you only,
   so you can work on the theme while regular visitors see whichever theme is activated
   under the Appearance menu.
 * Does that help?
