    Hi!

    I'm gonna make a complete makeover of my website using your themes and  your player. Sinice it will take some time, I'm wondering if it is possible to have the current theme (Laborator Kalium) online while working on the new site?


    Also, is it possible to save all media files etc when changing theme?


    Best,

    Daniel

    Hi

    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,
