I would like to change theme from the News Magazine theme to Default Newspaper [Demo] theme. What are the risks? Will I loose any custom code? Will I loose the complete current layout with content boxes [Elements] and all?
Yep. Different theme has different modules. So you would need to recreate any home page layout. Might be easier if you’ve already moved to TD Composer from Visual Composer.
There some good plugins — theme check? I forget — that let you ‘try’ a new theme without losing all the settings/transients from original theme. Might be worth doing that first.
And always make backups of everything via ftp, php/myadmin, export WP dbase, export theme settings into a text file (e.g,. any custom widget text, any custom text in theme panel, any custom text in layout boxes…).
Not sure that helps – but some feedback anyway.
Ok good. I start with “theme check”. Thanks.
