  What is the best workflow for making theme changes (new theme with navigation changes) without disrupting a current wordpress site and making sure all recent content edits (daily) during development period (a few weeks) are maintained when ready to implement changes? This is in regards to a relatively small site but would greatly appreciate feedback/opinions on what the most seamless workflow is.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  Are you referring to the free hosted WordPress.com blog linked to your username or not?

  It’s in regards to a site I’m taking over for someone else.

  Here’s the situation. The answers for free hosted WordPress.com blogs are different form the answers for self hosted WordPress.org installs. So until you post an active link starting with http:// to the specific blog in question we are not able provide an answer.

  It’s for a wordpress.org install so I think I posted in the wrong spot, will try the WordPress.org forum.
  Thanks!

  Yes you are in the wrong forum if this is a question pertaining to a WordPress.org install. You will have to post to http://wordpress.org/support/ as the two are completely separate and the answers are not the same.
