Changing Theme on Live Site

  • Good Morning,

    We have a live WordPress Site with Active Subscriptions and Content. Our theme is roughly 10 years old and its time for an update. We have a new theme but it will require new plugins as it uses the new block building functions and so forth that WordPress has.

    We do have a Staging plugin (WP-Staging) but I was curious as to what is the appropriate procedure for changing/updating a theme on a live site? Would you use the staging site and then push the changes to the live site? Would that interfere with your database? Our subscription data is handled in the database so we wouldn’t won’t to overwrite it.

    Would just creating a new WordPress installing and staging the theme and importing it in be better?

    Thanks!
