Easily switch between version-controlled plugins/themes and local development versions by toggling in the Plugins and Themes screens.

== Description ==

LocalDev Switcher allows you to seamlessly toggle between production plugins and themes and their local development versions.

**Usage:**

1. Place your local dev version of a plugin in:
   
   `wp-content/plugins/localdev-{plugin-slug}`

2. You should now have two directories containing the same plugin inside your `/plugins/`:
   1. `/plugins/your-plugin/` - Loaded from VCS/WordPress.org Plugins/etc.
   2. `/plugins/localdev-your-plugin/` - Your local development version
3. Use LocalDev Switcher to toggle between the version-controlled and local versions. The toggle UI appears in the plugin meta row.

LocalDev Switcher prevents double-loading and ensures only the desired version is active.

For theme support, follow the same pattern as for plugin support. Setup your local version of your theme inside the theme directory using `localdev-{theme-slug}` for the local version's directory name.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Follow the usage instructions to begin switching between plugin versions.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this work with themes? =

Yes, setup your theme for local development using the pattern `localdev-{theme-slug}`.

= What happens if I don't have a `localdev-{plugin-slug}` version? =

LocalDev Switcher will default to using the version-controlled plugin.

== Screenshots ==

1. Adds UI to show which plugins you can switch between VCS and Local.
