Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

How it works
Edit a post, page, or custom post type.
Choose a theme from the Content Theme sidebar panel.
Optionally choose a Page template from the selected theme. The template list refreshes whenever you change the theme.
Click Update to save the assignment, or use Preview with selected theme to test the theme and template without saving.
Visitors see the assigned theme only on that content item. Other pages continue using the active site theme.
Permissions
Theme preview URLs require a valid nonce and permission to edit the item or the switch_themes capability.
Assigned themes are visible to all visitors on the front end for that content item.
Developer filters
pagethsw_supported_post_types — Limit or extend supported post types.
pagethsw_is_supported_post_early — Control post type support before init.
