How to create a ‘test’ version of the homepage?

  • Hi.

    I want to make edits to home.php, but this will affect the live site…. Can I duplicated this file (something like home2.php) and make the changes there?

    The problem I am running into, is how can I preview this new file (home2.php)???

    Anyone have insight?

    thanks so much.

  • Copy the file and rename it to homepage.php. Edit it and at the very top, add:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Home Page
*/
?>

    Create your test page and use the Page Template dropdown to assign your new template to it. You can now preview your new file/template.

    Hi,

    Copy your index page and rename it…and use that page as template in any page so you can view your page as template..

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
