What happens if I switch themes?
-
I have a fully designed website that’s up and running. What happens if I “activate” a new theme? Does everything transition over fairly seamlessly, or do I have to re-design it; colors, placement, individual page code, etc etc. Also, if I don’t like the new theme and switch back to the old one, do I start back at square 1 with customizing it or will all of my customizations be remembered? Thanks!
I’m using Storefront theme and the responsiveness is so frustrating and buggy, I wanted to try a different theme and see if I can get one that, if it does offer a mobile version, either works right or can be turned off.

I will comment that I’m still very curious, however I did figure out how to make a child theme today. I did that, and I had a lot of re-editing to do on my site. So I assume that migrating to a new theme is no small task, but I’d still like to hear some feedback :)

Hi there, can you let us know your site address so we can point you in the right direction for support? Thanks.
Generally speaking, published posts remain published but might display differently depending on your theme. If your site is hosted here on WordPress.com, you can preview your content in a new theme before activating the theme. You can learn more about that here: https://wordpress.com/support/themes/#preview-themes
