Themes – Multiple versions of one theme?

  • I have multiple sites on my network, running an older version of a particular theme. Is there a way I can temporarily keep the existing version in place, while installing the newest version at the same time? I would like to update each site individually, instead of having them all get the new version at the same time. Thanks!

  • @dzanello One strategy could be to upload (FTP) the new version of the theme in a folder that has a different name. For example if you had an old version of twentytwenty and you want to also have the newest version, you could upload the theme with a new folder name of twentytwentyupdated. This would allow you to switch to the newly uploaded theme and retain the old one.

    A potential downside is future updates may be reliant on the theme folder being its original name, so you may need to manually update the theme moving forward. Future updates aren’t going to know that twentytwentyupdated and twentytwenty are the same thing.
