• I currently have a site up and running. However, I would like to change the theme and update/edit the pages accordingly. I realize that I could take the whole site down (maintenance) while doing this, but is there another way? Can I work on the new site while the other one is still up?

    Any thoughts on this? I’m still a bit of a newbie at hear!

    Thanks!

    Thanks…could you elaborate on your second option “install another wordpress in a folder”. I think this would be the best option for me. I think I understand, but I would like more details.

    Thanks!

    You can create another folder in root and install wordpress in that folder with separate database and when creating the config file change the unique prefix.

    The only thing I can see are the folders: wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content…and then a number of files. I cannot move up the folder/directory tree any further. Can I install it there? What is a “unique prefix.” Could you be a little more specific.

    If I am able to figure this out, what would I do then after installing WordPress, building the site, etc. Would I then move it to the existing directory?

    Thx

    If this is your own host account you can create folders along with where wp- folders are.

    So I can’t create the folder along side the wp-admin, etc, folders….I would have to go up a level to create one?

    I think I’m going to try to create a local server and database and then just move it to my server.
