Looking For Advicer: Moving From RocketTheme On J!3 To Helix Ultimate2

I'm wondering how to handle a transition from a RocketTheme template in Joomla 3 to the helixUltimate template, eventually moving to J!4. All menu items are assigned to the RT template, so how do I customize the Helix template while leaving pages assigned to RT?

Hi,

In general migrations questions are beyond support, but few tips I can share.

Each template has its own template module positions, so after you will switch from RT to Helix - you have to change module postions to new names and if you have too small number of them, add a new ones using Helix Layout builder. In theory you can rename all module positions to keep this same names, but it depends on you.

On your place I would ... play with a Helix template on new subdomain (new.mysite.com) - where you would have installed website backup. Then you have 100% flexibility and freedoom, right. Then AFTER you can just move whole site or just export-import settings etc..

Think smart, work less, be safe.
