it really depends what the root problem is. If you need to replace the whole theme, then yes. If the problem is with a particular file, and you know which file, edit that file and upload it.

Filezilla knows when you make changes to a file and will upload to the correct path.

The authors name is in the style.css for that particular theme.

thanks S, for your input, help and links. Perhaps after I get this site rolling, I can roll my own too ??

I appreciate your help and mark this resolved.

thanks

thanks for the reply.
I think I will use your original suggestion (that I shot down ?? ) and build a virtual machine and put xampp on it.

My original question remains ‘What would I need to change when I move to it to production?’

How is your environment set up?

thanks
