    I have a WordPress web site and I have created a temporary web site to test new design. I will move this to the current web when it looks and tests correctly. I have pointed the wordpress & blog url's to the new URL but when we update the site, the current web site is updated. I am a newby. I did not set this up and have taken over the site. So all and any ehlp is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advence for your help.

    You may have two sets of WordPress files pointing to the same database, or you may have the wrong URLs entered in Settings > General.

    To test a new or customized theme, it's easy to use the Theme Test Drive plugin.

    Thanks SS_Minnow. That was the problem.. But now I exported from my current DB and imported to my new DB but only four (4) tables are imported. The user table and some others do not get imported. Is there a priveledge I need to import all? This is all new to me (FYI). Again thanks for your help. I thought I was missing something and that was what I needed to know. Any ways any help with the DB problem s greatly appreciated but let me know if I need to create another thread....
