How to import new blog theme to an existing WordPress site.

  • Hi everyone,

    I have a WordPress website for all my landing and product pages. I have created a new blog instance on different hosting and uses a different theme. Now I want to import that blog instance to my existing website. And run the old theme for all my landing pages and the new theme for my blog posts.

    Kindly suggest an optimal solution for this.

  • Hello Jerome.
    You could export your post content from the blog instance and import it on your other installation. Then you could take a look at the Multiple Themes plugin which allows you to use different themes on different site areas.

    Another solution would be to clone your blog in a new sub-domain installation on your primary server, then just add a link to the site’s menu which points to the subdomain installation.

    Both options should be tested on a staging environment first to avoid any data loss on your primary installations.

    Hello Nik,

    Thanks for responding.

    I forgot to mention in my query that, I want to use the blog posts that are already present on my main website. Now I want to use the new blog theme with its settings(design, CSS) for my blogs present on the main website.

    I will test the “Multi theme” plugin but creating a subdomain on my primary server will affect all my SEO rankings for the posts that are doing well.

    Making my query more clear:

    I have posts that are on my main website(www.example.com/blogs) and the route for a single post is https://www.example.com/post-name. Now I want to import my new blog instance hosted on another server having a different theme onto the main website and keep both themes i.e existing theme for landing pages and new theme for blogs and also use the same routes so that I do not lose my google rankings.

    Hope you get a more clear view of the query.

    Regards
    Jerome
