## Beschreibung

Allows developers and site administrators to quickly switch between different WordPress
core versions directly from the WordPress dashboard. Ideal for testing plugin compatibility,
debugging version-specific issues, or downgrading/upgrading WordPress core safely.

### Developer Notes

This plugin uses PostCSS for CSS compilation and nesting. Source files and build
configurations are included.

### CSS Compilation

To build the compiled stylesheets:
 1. Ensure Node.js and npm are installed. 2. 
Run `npm install` in the plugin directory to install dependencies. 3. Run `npm run
build` to compile styles from `src/css/` to `admin/css/`.

### Coding Standards

To run WordPress coding standard checks:
 1. Ensure Composer is installed. 2. Run`
composer install` to install development packages. 3. Run `vendor/bin/phpcs` to 
check PHP code against WordPress standards.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `core-version-switcher` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Dashboard -> Core Version Switcher to configure and switch versions.

## FAQ

### How do I switch WordPress versions?

Go to Dashboard -> Core Version Switcher, select your target version from the dropdown
or type a custom/nightly version, click „Save Target Version“, then click the „Install
Selected WordPress Version Now“ button.

### Is it safe to switch/downgrade WordPress versions?

Switching core versions (especially downgrading) overwrites database tables and 
source files. It is highly recommended to back up your database and files before
proceeding.
