This is more of a general question. One of my clients has Salient as their Wordpress theme. It is NOT updating nor are there any options to update to the new version. My thoughts are that someone purchased Salient initially and then just used the same file to download the theme on my clients website. With that said I am getting PHP error due to the fact that the theme is very outdated.
Question: What does the process look like to upload a new theme without losing any of the existing pages? I would like to purchase the theme and upload it but I am worried that the new upload with overwrite the entire site. I can't imagine this would be the case but I wanted confirmation before execution.
