Changing Your WordPress Theme

In this video we change the theme on a Wordpress site that already has content etc. The themes we’re using are Propulsion and 3Clicks.

Hello!
As I could see, the new template is already online when you started to edit it.
Is there a way, to edit a new template in the background and let the "old template" still run until the new template is completely ready to go?
I ask because I chose a new template which has completely other functions and settings than my old one, and so I think to edit it completely will take more than just some minutes.
But I would like to have my website still be functioning while editing.
Is that possible with a child them?
To work in the background on the new and to upload and exchange the themes when the new one is ready to be launched?

Hi Alex, watched this today and enjoyed it. I would say that this video, alongside your other video on 'Make Money Making Websites-Be a Web Designer', got my interest on how would a person host multiple (3-4) websites on one hosting plan? Is it easy to do and manage? I would like to add a couple of more sites on my hosting plan, but I'm a bit flumuxed! And, I might add, scared that I would cock-up my current site. I've done a bit of research on it, but as a newbie, the words 'add domain & subdomains' confuse me and make me what to run away. Can you shed some light on the subject?

Yes thanks for the vid ...i have another seo question. I have a bespoke theme from about 4 years now and business is good thanks to seo however its looking aged so need to change themes. My biggest concern is the seo factor, and also my guy that built the theme has dropped off the radar so, is going from a bespoke to a WP theme ok ? im in no hurry, got plenty of time to tweek etc . Cheers Troy

Thanks, Alex. This vid was just what I needed. You validated that it will most likely take "time" to "tweak". LOL. Funny how assumptions about quick & easy updates are ubiquitous. Easy, ya, maybe. Quick, hell no. ;-) I'm happy that I can now plan properly. Cheers mate.

If I have installed and activated a new theme without exporting.... am I screwed?

[mervinmontemayor]

Great, Video Guide! hopefully, I won't mess up my clients' website. I'll try out what I just watched! By the way, do you have any templates to suggest for a Leadership kind of theme? Thanks!

Is it bad if we change the theme so often regarding Seo ? what do you think about it

[Sonic_king]

hi sir where can I get dynamic creative theme from I am new to this :( plz help ..

[christhompsonphotography]

I'm putting off doing this myself because I know that I'll have a bunch of checking to do once I install + activate the new theme. But this does at least make the expectations realistic. :)

Hi . Do I really need to add new site? To get my theme changed?

[itsmoilori]

Why the gravator has different website? I mean it's not within Wordpress

[MrMinecraftAtlantis]

Great video. Thank you Alex. Would be brilliant to see a ton of short videos on how to make all of the tweaks, one at a time. Plus, that would add even more epic content to your great channel.
