How to Test Your Setup Using the User Switching Plugin

You can test your setup using the User Switching Plugin to see what a user on your site sees based on the tags they have. This is especially useful if you’re creating a new course or want to troubleshoot an existing setup.

How this plugin works

This plugin works from the WordPress Users panel to switch from a logged-in site admin to a subscriber (AccessAlly user).
