Does activating a new theme change the current theme?

    f I activate a new theme, does it automatically change my live website to that theme? Or does my website stay with its current theme and layout until I hit publish?

    Since I would have to make changes to the new theme, that might take longer than I think. What would visitors to my website see if the new theme is immediately activated, and I am still working on it and the old one is deactivated?

    I have 2021 theme now and am thinking of using 2023 theme.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • By default, as soon as you activate the new theme on the website that is what live users see.

    What ‘many’ hosts offer is a staging site, allowing you to develop off the live and later ‘push’ to live. See if your host offers such a thing.
