    Replace theme?

    Posted 14 years 9 months ago
    • Hey, so I created a site using one of the awesome RT templates, but its time for an update and I want to use a different RT template. How do I go about editing a new theme, testing it, etc on the server and eventually replace the old theme? I need the old/current one to stay live while I complete the new one, but I also need to see what the new one looks like live too.

      This was a very difficult topic to Google or search the archive. Maybe a link to it on one of the pages?

      Thanks much.

    • Some basics to get stated:

      Use Akeeba Backup to make a copy of the live site and install it in a subfolder of your site or an local host.

      www.akeebabackup.com/akeeba-backup-for-joomla/index.html

      With the copy, you can develop / test the new template.

      When your dev site is finished, you can reverse the process, making a copy of the dev site and install it back to the root.
