TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress administrators who want to try out a new theme without affecting how the site looks to visitors. It solves the problem of testing themes live on a production site by letting the admin preview a different theme while regular visitors continue to see the default theme.
