  I’m using the “Suits” theme on a live corporate site; would like to purchase and test the “Purpose” theme and eventually replace the existing Suits theme with Purpose:

  1. can I purchase/install the Purpose theme on a test site then bring it over to the other site where I’m using Suits?; in other words can you purchase a theme on one site then transfer it another site?

  2. if I purchase the Purpose theme on the live site, will it be pretty straight forward to use it to replace the existing Suits theme?

  Are your referring to a site hosted by wordpress.COM?

  Have you read the premium theme support doc?

  Yes, you can transfer a premium theme to another site you own.

  2. if I purchase the Purpose theme on the live site, will it be pretty straight forward to use it to replace the existing Suits theme?

  You will need to redo any customizations on the new site, such as:

  – creating and assigning menus
  – widget setup and configuration
  – front page setup
  – theme options setup

  Let me know if you have any specific questions.
