Hi everyone. I have two separate questions…
1) Install Error message – I just bought the Newspaper theme and followed all instructions to extract and install the newspaper.zip file to my wordpress dashboard, but keep getting the same error that reads: “Are you sure you want to do that? Please try again.” Followed suggestions for clearing cache and cookies and still not working.
The second question leads into this above, as the other suggestion was to disable plugins currently working.
2) My site is rather large and has been up and running for a little over 2 years. Is it true that I am not able to design the new site with the newspaper theme offline?? Can’t find the answer to this question directly. I just found someone else stating that in order to fully customize this theme, I have to activate it. So, does that mean my original site will be completely gone while I design and then implement the new one??
Thanks so much for any help on this!
Still hoping to get some feedback/advice on my issue(s). Haven’t been able to resolve them, yet! Thanks!
Normally you’d develop a copy of your site with new theme in a sub-domain or alt dev setup like MAMP on your hard drive and import database from server (lots of articles on web for this).
Install theme via FTP if your hosting setup has funky permissions.
Some people “switch” to new site layout by setting aside a weekend and doing changes when things are less likely to freak people out. Note all your posts won’t break choosing new theme, indexes work, etc.; so often you can switch on new theme, then work on your homepage first, then sort out the rest.
I think there is also a theme switch plugin where you can work on new layout, test, then switch back to old theme. Have not tried that.
