Can I change my theme a responsive one with no issues

  • Hi All,

    I have a theme called babysitter and I’ve been using it for the past 3 years.
    I want a responsive theme.

    Is it ok just to purchase and change my theme then tweek it to work?

    Or do I have to rebuild the entire website from scratch??
    thanks,
    Ken

  • Hi there,

    Yes, you can certainly install a new theme without having to start from scratch. The amount of tweaking you will have to do will depend on the theme you use and your desire result.

    To avoid downtime your could copy your site to another server and change the theme and tweak until you are happy and then copy it back.

    That way you can properly test the new design before you roll it out to the public.

    Good luck with your new design ??

    I don’t know how to save my site to another sever. I know how to add posts, pictures, build, pages, add things…but moving the site to another server sounds crazy.
    Is there a how to?

    Well first you would need another server or hosting account to do this.

    I like to use a service called ‘ManageWP’ and use their ‘Clone’ function to copy a WordPress site from one location to another. You can read about it here.

    If that sounds a bit too involved and you don’t mind some downtime for your website you could install a ‘Coming Soon Page’ plugin while you get your new theme sorted out.

    There is a good one available for free by SeedProd – here.
