  I’d like to transition fy site from the INove theme to a premium theme. During the transition, I’d like the site as it is to continue functioning. Is there a way to accomplish this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. To my knowledge, changing themes only changes the appearance of your blog. You may have to restore your widgets (from Appearance > Widgets > Inactive), your menus (Appearance > Menus), that sort of thing, but the change itself does not change your blog’s structure (articles, pages, etc.)

  Unfortunately, when I preview the site in the new theme, it looks like it will take quite a bit of work for me to clean it up. Is there a way to work on the new site while the other remains for use?

  There are offline editors that allow you to edit posts now and publish them later, but I doubt that they include the possibility of changing the theme now and make it go live later.

  Your other option is to switch your theme at a time of day when you get few visitors. Of course, it helps if you’re awake then…
