WP User Stylesheet Switcher

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m using this on a site I’m developing that will have a “feminine style” and a “masculine style”. The site is in development so I didn’t want to replace the default style.css as that would mean updating two stylesheets (ugh!). Because the style switcher is loaded in the header after the main stylesheet, this is what I did to cut down work … In the plugin I identified the default stylesheet as “Feminine Style” and entered a fake stylesheet name so it would never get replaced. I then created a real “Masculine Style” and entered it’s correct stylesheet name. This way the masculine overrides just the feminine styles I add to it to change 😀 It works great.

   Couldn’t get this to work so I left a message for the author who got back to me within a few hours to explain that the icon files aren’t really optional if you select list_type=”icon”. Problem solved.

   Works well, sometimes there is only part of custom CSS loaded (for example sometimes background color and color of some types of text is changing, but links not). But most of the time it works well.

   Really nice little plugin, easily lets you switch stylesheet on the frontend without having to build a custom interface. Highly recommended, best solution I’ve found.
