    How to test another theme in a live WordPress website instead of live preview?

    matteradmin8PV0评论

    I want to implement a new theme called Hepta on my current website, but when I test it using the live preview, it shows me limited content and features as it imports most of the contents from the active theme. Hence, I added few core plugins for that theme and also added theme import plugin. But, my concern is that if I activate the theme import plugin, the theme which is currently live(the older theme) might be affected, which will end up affecting the live website. So, I want to test the new theme and make it my primary theme once it is ready. How should I do this?

    • So I believe that this is possible with Health Check plugin. I tried to test it now, however, and it malfunctioned. But maybe it was an isolated issue. Still, really the best way to do this is by creating a staging environment – Gonçalo Figueiredo Commented Oct 29, 2018 at 23:07

    To try new theme over live wordpress site you need to duplicate the site in staging. There are many ways to do that:

    • Manually: create a sub-domain (ex: staging.domain) copy files and DB there and do your changes there after tested well migrate them to live.
    • Using plugin: A plugin named WP-Staging may help you the manual process.
    • You can use wp-engine service, which help you manage staging things.

    Hope one of the above way be helpful for you. A help link to check.
