PlatformPro v.1.3 not compatible with 'Theme Test Drive' plugin

[bda4 0]

Hello, Love PlatformPro and I'm really excited to get it going for my small business website. Problem: the very common "Theme Test Drive" plugin is not compatible with PlatformPro - enabling the plugin causes all the features of Platform Pro to be 'lost'. As soon as the plugin is disabled the features return...frustrating. Here's a snapshot of the plugin in my admin and a snapshot of the features that are lost: https://picasaweb.google.com/andrews.bda/PlatformProProblem# Is there a way to make this functional? Thanks.

To be honest, I'm actually not familiar with that theme. But I noticed in that dropdown it says "Chronos under construction theme". Could that perhaps be the issue? Basically, when you enable the plugin, it's just switching themes, and naturally the PlatformPro settings wouldn't be available (until you choose it as the theme). Make sense? Just a guess...

Hi Kate, thank you for your reply I don't think the problem is with the chronos under-construction theme. The 'Chronos under construction' theme is a landing page that I want to show customers for marketing pre-launch - email signup, twitter, etc...while i develop a hosted domain. The "Theme Test Drive" plugin is used to run a landing page theme like Chronos while the developer has full range with the test theme in the backend without customer's seeing changes. The plugin allows two themes to be used. PlatformPro the activated theme, and the plugin choosing an installed theme (Chronos). I think my problem is that the "Theme Test Drive" plugin is not compatible with PlatformPro. I was able to run two themes (one being the Chronos under construction) using this plugin on another site. At this point, without this plugin I'm at a loss. Because I'm a newbie to WP I don't know how to promote a pre-launch landing page 'theme' on www.mydomain.com and build the 'PlatformPro' theme at the same time? I know about local downloads of wordpress to my computer but would prefer to use the hosted install. Any ideas? On the plugin? Or an alternative that would help me? Thanks in Advance!

You might get some insight from the plugin author. I'll mark for developer review on this end. Thanks, Bryan
