    Hi, Is there any guidelines for us to follow regarding change theme of the existing site? We use Avada theme before. Now we want to change to Salient Theme for our wordpress site and we will redesign the homepage. is there any plugin we can move our blog content from the old site to the new site? What's the proper procedure? We want to ensure the process is smooth.

    Hello Connie,

    Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in our theme.

    To change the website theme, follow the procedure below:

    1. Create a backup of the existing website
    2. Download the zipped salient theme, follow our installation guide here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/installing-salient-updated/
    3. For the blog content we do not have a recommended plugin but you can follow the steps here: https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/how-to-transfer-your-wordpress-content-from-one-blog-to-another/

    Hope that helps, let us know in case you need assistance.

    Thanks.

    Hi Eliud,

    May I know is there any other way I can modify the new theme design without affecting the existing website? is it I can save the new theme as a draft in wordpress? will there be any conflict if I use edit the salient theme while the existing site is using Avada theme?

    Hello Connie,

    Thanks for keeping in touch.

    The only way not to affect the existing website is to duplicate the current website then set up the new theme. You can use the duplicator plugin then setup the new website.

    Thanks.
