Edit and preview a theme without it being “live”

  • Is this possible? I’m trying to create a new design for my website, but I don’t want to edit it live and I can’t seem to do it (and see it “live”) without showing everybody else.

    Any ideas?

  • I think in general people set up test blogs for this.

    You can edit I theme without it being live. When I tried this, I went to: Appearance > Editor and at the top right, there’s a drop down box saying “Select Theme to Edit.” Your theme will remain live while the one your editing is not “live” at all. Bad things is, you can’t preview it unless you install a plugin.

    You can find the plugin here: https://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/08/preview-theme-plugin/

    I’ve never tried it though, so I don’t know how well it works or if it works with the latest version.
