Below is a custom WordPress plugin that will switch to any theme on a specific taxonomy archive. In this example, only the ‘category’ taxonomy will switch to use the Twenty Twenty Three theme. Make sure the theme exists in your /themes/ directory when testing your custom plugin.

ThemeSwitcher Pro works with custom code to easily create your own custom conditionals and manage via code. The plugin example code is located at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/theme-switcher-pro-add-ons. Copy the plugin code to your /plugins/ directory and customize away!
