  Hello,

  I am using the Sketch theme and the bulk of the information is contained in portfolio projections.

  1. If I change to a non-portfolio theme, does the project content become pages, posts, something else, or get removed?

  2. I plan on copying this web-site to another domain and then translate it into Japanese, so I would have an English and Japanese version. If I use the export feature to accomplish this, will it export portfolio information along with page and post information? Will anything get left behind?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there!

  1. If you switch to a theme without a portfolio, your content will still exist and won’t be deleted from your site (unless you remove it), but your theme won’t have a spot specially formatted to display it. (You can always add /portfolio to the end of your site address to see it, but a non-portfolio theme will likely display them more like blog posts.)

  2. If you use the wp-admin dash (https://accessconsciousnessjp.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and export your content under Tools > Export, you’ll see the option to include “Projects” in your export. This will be what you’ll use to make a copy of your Portfolio Projects that can be imported into another site.

  Let me know if you have any questions!
