Is there any way to keep the widget settings of both themes intact?

The themes are very different. They are not based on eachother and their widget areas are named a bit differently.

P.S. I saw you just did an update. I’m curious, which part of the plugin did you update?

Ok that sounds great, I thought it was very outdated at first because of the support tickets and reviews which report it not working.

But I’m comfortable with code and considering what you just told me I think i should be able to get it working then.

P.S. Does it remember the widgets that I set in a theme?
I just tried WPMUDEV’s theme split test plugin and it doesn’t remember the widget settings from one of the themes in the test.

Will try it out soon. Thanks for providing the plugin for free.

I’m not sure why you think it’s outdated?

I’m not using this on any live client sites, however the basic functionality works just fine – I just installed it on a dev site and was able to get different themes served exactly as I’d expect. The only thing that might need looked at is the Google Analytics which probably doesn’t work if you’re running Universal Analytics (Google’s newest incarnation). That should be pretty simple to resolve though, and I’d gladly accept a patch that adds support for that.

If you’re using either of the two older styles then everything should work as designed.

Is it still worth giving it a shot to make this work? Or is this project abandoned and heavily outdated?

I like the idea, need it, and would not mind paying for a plugin like this. I know WPMUDEV has a similar plugin but their admin area is so spammy with banners everywhere in your WP admin. I don’t like to fill WP admin with their stuff.

Thanks for the great plugin!

Just wanted to say I started having the same problem (that it works in FF but shows blank in Chrome) out of the blue about 18 months ago, and have not been able to figure out why. It happens on different sites and doesn’t seem to be theme dependent. Whether or not I’m logged in doesn’t matter, either. In Chrome there is nothing sent to the browser – view source also shows empty.

Hi Patrick, not off the top of my head – no. I’d recommend testing with Chrome’s ingognito mode a few times and check you get different themes, and google analytics code that looks correct.

Unfortunately I can’t provide support for my free plugins unless it’s on a paid for basis. If it’s important to you, feel free to drop me a note on the contact page and we’ll see what we can work out.

But when I check my report under Audience –> Custom and check my stats they seem low. In the past month it is showing both of my themes in my test have 133 visits to the site out of 1,888. Do you have any advice as to why this might be? Shouldn’t this be 100%?

I’ve just pushed some changes which might help with this. Can you try the development version here:

You’ll need to resave your settings – let me know how you get on!
