[wp-hackers] changing a theme via wpdb class

[Christopher Ross]

if you're going to do this for whatever reason, consider adding it to the theme_redirect instead of the init and also including a wrapper around it and use the switch_theme() instead.

add_action( 'template_redirect' , 'change_theme_manually' );
function change_theme_maually() {

    if ( 'twentyeleven' != get_current_theme() )
         switch_theme( 'twentyeleven' );

}

I've not tested that, but it should work.
