    Hi!

    Through the years I have made several adjustments to my Apex template. 

    I want to start all over with a fresh new Apex template... Is that possible?

    I don't want to lose the current Apex template because that is what visitors are seeing... but is it possible to install a second Apex template where I can start from scratch again? So in the background I can adjust that second Apex theme to my needs.. and when I am finished make that second Apex theme the default theme...

    Kind regard,

    GertJan van Schuppen

    What I always recommend when using a new WordPress theme is to develop the "new" website on a staging server with a fresh copy of WordPress. So start with a clean copy of WordPress, install the theme and its demo. By doing this, your existing website will continue to run, and you will have all the time you want to develop/design the new website on your staging server.

    You could also export/import the old blog posts of your old website onto your new website by going to WP-Admin > Tools > Import/Export.

    When you are ready to launch your new website, you will just have to point your domain name to the staging server so it becomes your new "live" server.

    Thanks,
