 * How can I “toggle” between the Theme Manji and LetterHead?
    Right now I can go
   from LetterHead to Manji, Rin, Classic but I can’t go back using theme-switcher.
   Thanks

 * Have you included the theme-switcher call in all of the sidebars? You have to
   have it on each theme in order to “toggle”….

 * where can we find more info on the theme switcher? Is it a plugin for WP? And
   if so, where can we get it? Thanks

 * vkaryl, i don’t remember doing it for LetterHead because I wouldn’t know how 
   to. I just put it (theme-switcher.php)in my plugins folder. How would you do 
   it?

 * Hi -joe…. here’s the code I use in my themes:
 * `<li id="themes"> <h2><br /><br /><?php _e('Themes'); ?></h2> <?php if (function_exists('
   wp_theme_switcher')) { ?> <?php wp_theme_switcher('dropdown'); ?> <?php } ?>
   
   </li>
 * That goes into the sidebar coding wherever you want the switcher to show. If 
   you don’t want the dropdown, this is the code to use:
 * `<li id="themes"> <h2><br /><br /><?php _e('Themes'); ?></h2> <?php if (function_exists('
   wp_theme_switcher')) { ?> <?php wp_theme_switcher(''); ?> <?php } ?>
    </li>
 * Some themes come with this bit of code already “planted” in the sidebar, which
   may be why you’re experiencing this situation….

 * vkaryl, It won’t work in manji cause there’s no sidebar but it work in Rin except
   there’s no heading, but I’ll make one when i figure it out. Thanks

 * Well, you can actually put that code wherever you need it, you might need to 
   remove the li tagset around it if you put it in the header or footer….

 * Joe, you could add it to Manji’s Footer Template. Just enter this before the 
   credits’ closing `</p>` tag:
 * `</br>
    Themes: <?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?> <?php wp_theme_switcher('
   dropdown'); ?> <?php } ?>

 * macmanx, now you tell me 😉
    what I did was use Rin and and this to get rid of
   that extra spacer bar –thanks I will try it the manji theme next
 * <div id=”sidebar”>
    - <h2><?php _e(‘click for other theme’); ?></h2>
       <li id=”themes”></h2><?php
      if (function_exists(‘wp_theme_switcher’)) { ?> <?php wp_theme_switcher(”);?
      > <?php } ?>
    - <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2>’ ); ?>
    - <h2><?php _e(‘Categories’); ?></h2>

 * Yes, macmanx is right on there…. I haven’t any background with either Rin or 
   Manji, but you really can always put the switcher code wherever you want it to
   appear.
 * It doesn’t have to be in list tags at all, a paragraph tagset will work, or even
   just “bare” in a div depending on the theme….

 * macmax, Thank you and thanks for stating it like this:
    [Just enter this before
   the credits’ closing tag:] I tossed out classic and default and I’m left with
   LetterHead manji and rin. Probably end up with two.
 * vkaryl, thanks for your help. I don’t exactly know what this means [It doesn’t
   have to be in list tags at all, a paragraph tagset will work, or even just “bare”
   in a div depending on the theme….] but I will check into it.
 * if i have a different ? do I start another topic?

 * I’m glad that it worked out for you. And, yes, starting a new topic for each 
   separate question is usually the best thing do.
 * Basically, vkaryl was just saying that you don’t have to include it in `<li>``
   </li>` tags (like her sidebar suggestion). You can also add it inside `<p>``</
   p>` (such as you have done in Manji’s footer), or even `<div>``</div>` tags (
   yet another impossibility). In all honesty, you can put that PHP call wherever
   you want inside your theme.
