  I have a client that wants to keep their site up and running as I redo their website. I want to change the theme but don’t want the changes to be live before they review it. Is there any way to work on a temporary file then publish it after the changes are reviewed?

  I know they defiantly don’t want their site to go into maintenance mode. Is there any other options?

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

  Is the site hosted here on WordPress.com? If so, there isn’t really a way to do that here.

  If it’s a self-hosted WordPress.org site, we really can’t help with that here.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  That’s the same type of site, so it would be the same answer. :)

  I had a similar situation with a site that used the WordPress.org software AND had a webhost that allowed a subdirectory where I was able to work on the whole site update and then had some (now forgotten) Steps from WordPress.org to make my new site the public site when I was finished with the redesign.

  So check with both the WordPress.org forums and documentation AND your hosting company.
