    Ok, I’m still not being clear….Let me try a different way.

    Website A – Old WP site with theme that has all kinds of errors. Company is currently using this on Host A. We are redesigning a brand new site with a brand new theme and will not be using the current WP install or theme on the new host.

    What they want:

    New WP site with a different theme. Starting from scratch and completely redesigning everything on the new site. They want it installed on Host B. However, they also want their visitors to see Website A until such time that I can created the new Website.

    So, my plan was to copy all the old data over, including the old WP install, even though it doesn’t work completely (errors and such). I am doing this just so we can have a site visitors can see until the new site is active. For reasons I’m tracing to DNS, I can’t install the new theme and WP install on the new hosting account’s root directory because the theme errors out and appears to be trying to visit the domain instead of the IP address. If I could do it that way, it would be a piece of cake.

    So, I must have both versions on the new host. I just need to be able to move the new version to root once it’s live. Sorry for all the confusion.

    I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. We’re not updating the existing WP site. Someone hacked it and made it pretty much worthless, save for the home page which is all they care about right now. They want a brand new site on the latest version of WP with a new theme. That’s the issue I’m facing, so upgrading the existing WP site is not an option on the new server. Hopefully I’m making sense.
