How to test out a new template (tweak coding) without affecting live site?

  • Hi Guys,

    1. Currently I have one blog in my WordPress account which is linked to one domain. I want to create another separate blog and have it linked to a different domain. Is this possible with my current WordPress account or do I need to create a new account?

    2. I want to test out a new template (tweak some of its coding to customize). My current WordPress account already has a live website blog which I don’t want to touch. Is there a way I can do this in a sandbox environment or something?

    if you’re on PC google XAMPP, mac MAMP or install https://localwp.com/

    on your live site, install a clone/migrate plugin to create a duplicate of your whole site, set up a site on your new local server (on your computer with XAMPP, MAMP or the link above, install the migration plugin in the testing site and import your clone.

    after that, go crazy with all your tweaks. ??

    Thanks for the help! Is there a standard clone/migration plugin to use?
