Quick question. I’m converting the site http://thegayguidenetwork.com to the Newspaper theme.

The existing site is older with a LOT of content. Would it be smarter to set up a text URL to map out categories, menus, and flow before installing the new Newspaper theme? What would people recommend based on experience of converting an existing site?

Hi,

You could begin locally on a sub-domain for example, install the theme activate it, then set and configure everything as needed. The theme activation can be reset in the theme system status.
These would be some general advice when changing themes

Maybe some other users can share their experience in the matter.

Thanks
