Theme Preview is a very handy plugin. It allows you to view your theme without activating it. It’s also needed when you create your own themes and offer them to be downloaded on your website. This way, your visitors will be able to see what the theme really looks like before downloading it.
You will need to download the plugin first. Once you do that log into your WordPress account and go to the Settings > Plugins. Click on Installed in the drop down menu that appears. Find theme-preview and activate it.
To view the theme you’ll need to use this URL:
http://yoursite.com/index.php?preview_theme=my-theme
Change “yoursite.com” to your website. Where it says “preview_theme=my-theme”, change “my-theme” to the name of your theme and it should appear.
