 * I need to schedule my WordPress themes to automatically switch based on the date.
   Currently, four times a year. What is the best way to do this?

 * Use wp_schedule_single_event(). The callback that is triggered can call switch_theme()
   and then schedule the next change. Scheduled events rarely occur exactly on schedule,
   they tend to occur slightly after the scheduled time. If you regularly add a 
   fixed time span to schedule the next event, like 91.3125 days, the time to switch
   will tend to creep forward. While it will take a long time before the creep is
   noticeable, you might consider creating a specific date string for the switch,
   like “1-4-17”, then converting it into a time stamp for the scheduling.
