SwitchGuard
Installation

Installation

Open the plugin installer

In your WordPress dashboard go to Plugins → Add New.

Search for the plugin

Type WindCodex SwitchGuard in the search box.

Install and activate

Click Install Now next to the plugin, then click Activate.

After Activation

Open SwitchGuard settings

Go to SwitchGuard in your WordPress admin menu.

Confirm user switching is enabled

Enable User Switching defaults to Yes, so no setup is needed here. If it's been turned off, toggle it back to Yes and save.

Perform your first switch

Visit Users → All Users and click the Switch to link under any non-admin user.

Continue with Quick Start

Follow the Quick Start guide to explore all switching options.

The default state of Enable User Switching is Yes - switching is available as soon as the plugin is activated. Turn it off in SwitchGuard → Settings if you'd rather require an explicit opt-in.
