Title: Theme-Switcher Problem Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Theme-Switcher Problem * [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/) * I’ve installed the theme-switcher and it switches themes fine, but I’ve also used php includes to switch themes for the rest of my site (non-WP pages), and although the other WP pages switch themes fine, my ‘normal’ pages don’t. I would say it’s a cookies problem, but I seem to remember a few other people telling me that the same thing was happening… [http://blossom.nu/wp](http://blossom.nu/wp)– any help would be much appreciated 😀 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * [eridan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eridan/) * (@eridan) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-248746) * It’s kind of simple actually. The cookie currently sets the path to /wp, so the changes will only affect that exact url. Change the path to ‘/’ if you want it to affect the entire web site and it’s pages. * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-248788) * Thanks so much! But..erm..whereabouts do I change the path to ‘/’ ? In the admin panel or in the header and footer..? * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-248990) * Anybody? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249023) * Kitten, FYI – bumping is a no-no and may cause deletion of your thread. I am not responding because you bumped, but because it was on my “to-do” list to check the plugin code when I had the time. I was posting back when I noticed the “bump” * If you look at the plugin code I suspect what cridan is referring to is the “ COOKIEPATH” in the function to set the cookie. You could try to change it from that to ‘/’ (single quotes included) and try that – remember to delete your cookies before testing it. Not being familiar with cookies, I could be all cookie dough. * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249195) * Hmm, I was informed that you could bump after 24 hours with no replies :/ Unfortunately I am not psychic and have no idea what people’s to do lists are, as you are probably well aware 😉 * `setcookie('wp_ts_'. $cookiehash, $ts_theme, time() + 777000, $cookiepath);` * ^ I have no idea what to change there. That’s one of the 3-4 lines relating to cookies, that are all pretty much the same. * [viper007bond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viper007bond/) * (@viper007bond) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249197) * [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php) * The 5th item is the domain, so that’d be `$cookiepath`. Replace it with `'star- girl.org'` and it should work (I’d think). * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249273) * Thanks for the suggestion, but I replaced it with blossom.nu, and it still doesn’t work. Maybe it’s a setting in the WP admin panel I need to change? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249293) * I must be looking at a different theme switcher. Do you have a link to the one you are using? * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249331) * It’s a French one. It was here: [http://386a.net/blog/wordpress/theme-switcher](http://386a.net/blog/wordpress/theme-switcher) but it seems to have disappeared… This still works though [http://386a.net/blog/](http://386a.net/blog/) Maybe I should try a different one? * Thread Starter [jenni_kitten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenni_kitten/) * (@jenni_kitten) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249364) * See, this is why bumping is necessary 😛 * [servisis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/servisis/) * (@servisis) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249365) * I tried the links from the previous posts, but afraid I can’t help: [http://386a.net/blog/wordpress/theme-switcher](http://386a.net/blog/wordpress/theme-switcher)– still 404 not found [http://386a.net/blog/](http://386a.net/blog/) – can’t see a theme switcher list or drop down to try. [http://blossom.nu/wp](http://blossom.nu/wp)– theme switcher is visible but non-functioning.

I googled, but all I was the URL to the one I downloaded orginally *sigh* * [jwurster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwurster/) * (@jwurster) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-switcher-problem-1/#post-249379) * I couldn’t determine if you found the French theme switcher. If you didn’t, I have it. I can email it to you, if you like.
