Change the current template to a new one while preserving the content.

Asked by linarob70 6 months ago Last activity 6 months ago

I have the following question: Can I replace an existing template with a new one while keeping the content?

How can I do this? Is there a video tutorial?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

Yes, it is possible to install and use a new template while keeping your existing website content. Templates mainly control the design and layout, while your articles, menus, and other content remain in the database.

You may install the new template on your existing site. Then export settings from old one and then import in the new one. Then make the new one as your default template. Follow this documentation.

We recommend keeping a full site backup before making any changes.

Regards.
