OK, maybe I'm dense. What am I really seeing when I do a "test drive"? I was hoping to see how my site would actually look (current content) in a different theme, can I do that? If so, how? I've got the plugin, have a theme added so it shows up in the dropdown, if I enable test drive, where do I go to see what it looks like?

Hi Vladimir,
I am trying to install the Theme Test Drive. When I am in Design – Theme Test Drive I am asked to do this:
Enter the URL to the theme zip file and click Install theme
What is the URL to the zip file, please? Am I missing something?

Hello Petra,
As our new pilot friend Vladimir is a busy man…. allow me (also, he has to check these posts so if I'm wrong he'll correct me… I hope!)
Find the theme you like.
Get to the point at where you about to download it.
When your mouse is hovering on the download button right click and select 'copy link location'
Paste that in the URL box on Test Drive
Then click 'Install Theme'
Go down the page to Useage, find your new theme using the drop down menu, then go down the page further and click 'enable'.
You'll then be able to see your site in the new theme.
Disable to return to normal.
Hope it works.

Scott,
To see what your site looks like with Theme Test Drive installed and a theme selected….. go to your site.
Simple as that.
That wasn't meant to make you sound dumb or anything
