# Simple theme switch with parameters

 * I’m trying to switch my theme to support a cobranded advertiser. I’ve created
   a plugin that seems to accept my parameter but I can’t get the theme to switch.
 * Without boring you with the entire code, the important bits are:
    (if my parameter
   is detected or the cookie is set then…)
 *     ```
       add_filter('template','change_template');
   
       function change_template($template = '') {
       	$template = '123cobrand';
       	return $template;
       }
       ```
   
 * What am I missing?

 * I just installed WordPress to my website. I added a folder with a theme of WordPress’s.
   However, when I want to switch to the theme, I cannot even figure out how to 
   get to the Administration panel. How can i get to the admin panel?
