# User Selectable Themes?

 * I am looking for what I can only assume is a plugin that will allow users to 
   select the them they wish to use via their profile. Or at least a way that the
   Admin group can have a different theme. The reason I am wanting this is so that
   I can develop a new theme on my current production site and not let anyone see
   it besides my users account or users I wish to allow. Is there such a plugin 
   or a way of doing this? Thanks in advance.

 * I’m not aware of any such plugin. However, I’d recommend installing a local copy
   of WordPress on your home computer and developing the theme there, and then uploading
   the theme afterwards.
 * Get [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html).
    Install it. Run it 
   and start up Apache and MySQL. Create a new database in MySQL. Install a copy
   of WordPress into the htdocs folder. You can now go through the normal wordpress
   install and configuration and setup a local copy of the software on [http://localhost](http://localhost)
   and such.

 * Well I have another linux box already setup, and have apache and such installed
   on my powerbook already… just would be nice to have it all in one place… I guess
   I am a little difficult 😉

 * moshu, I gave that a try. And it doesn’t work, either because of the normal wordpress
   cache being enabled or the fact I am on wordpress 2.2….
