OL Theme Router

OL Theme Router is a WordPress plugin that will switch themes dynamically using a rule hierarchy.

Vision

Use installed themes as routing targets and select which theme a request should use based on:

1. Explicit user assignment (highest priority)
2. IP-based assignment
3. User role assignment
4. Default site theme (fallback)

Implemented Features

• Theme selector sourced from installed themes
• Explicit user assignment (multi-select)
• IP-based assignment rules
• Role-based assignment rules
• Dashboard routing toggle with admin-capability guard
• Advanced URL-based routing rules with optional child-page matching

Rule Hierarchy

1. URL rule match (when Advanced URL routing is enabled on frontend)
2. User-specific match
3. IP-specific match
4. Role-specific match
5. WordPress active theme fallback

Status

Current capabilities:

• Admin settings page under Settings > OL Theme Router
• Theme selector sourced from installed themes
• Multi-user assignment field
• IP rules repeater field
• Role assignment field
• Frontend theme routing for assigned users
• Dashboard theme routing for users with manage_options capability
• Advanced tab with URL rules repeater and child-page match option

Hierarchy detail: when Advanced URL routing is enabled, frontend routing requires a URL rule match first. Otherwise, explicit user assignment is evaluated before IP rules, and IP rules are evaluated before role assignment.
