Thanks to Kyle's tutorial I was able to change a theme on my business website.
When I began I chose "Searchlight" for my theme. It worked fine but I noticed there was no copywrite information at the bottom of the page. I had found a website that looked very similar to mine and I suspect it may have been copied.

When I tried to get help on the matter, I found that after a year you get no support from Searchlight without payment. Since I use "Colormag" by ThemeGrill on my guitar site, and it is free I wanted to change my business site to that theme also.

I was given a link to Kyle's tutorial and the process is very easy and you can have it set up before you activate and go back to your old theme if you do not like the result.

What seemed to be a big problem was easypeasy. Here is the link to Kyle's tutorial.

I have been wanting to know if changing themes would be challenging, thank you for sharing this :)

You are welcome Roses,
The problems depend on the themes you are changing. I had some adjustments to make but they were just formatting problems. Some have had plugin problems.
Kyles tutorial shows how you can check the new theme before accepting it.
You van also go back to your previous theme.
Thanks for your comment,

Marty

Your welcome and thank you again:)

Well done, God bless you.

Thanks, Peter, blessings to you also.

Great Marty .. Well done. Cheers, William.

Thank, William and cheers to you:-)

Excellent Marty, some things seem hard but when we get down to it everything is ok. Best wishes with the new theme.

Thanks, Alexander, sometimes what seems to be huge is not that big. Depending on how your site is configured some may have a more difficult time. I did see that one of my pages was changed but nothing drastic.

Good one to save thanks,

Thankyou Mike:-)

Thanks for sharing. This might be something I could need at some point ☺

Hi Caroline,
I did not think I needed to until over a year on this website.
Loes also offers some good info on theme changes.
Thanks for your comment.

Hi Marty,
I would say I would need to. Still learning about how the website functions and the plugins. Will bookmark. Thanks again

Glad it went so smoothly, not all theme changes are going that way,

The first time I looked there was a big gap above the page with a list of pages and posts. I sat on it for a day and then realized I had dealt with that before.
Today I checked it again and found a link that made it right and also set my menu as I had it on the old theme.

Thanks for sharing your tutorial, Loes My site is a year old and has widgets. I may still need to do some adjustments but I don't think they are major.

I hope the check-up will be sufficient:) Have a great day Marty

Well done! Thanks for sharing Martin!

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for stopping by. When we share success life gets easier:-)

Well done to you :)

Thanks, Tosh, I appreciate your encouraging comment:-)

Thankfully, you searched and shown a light on the problem to change it!

Hi Mike,
I had never felt the need to change themes but now I know it is not a problem. I had a mentor for a while that gave me "Colormag".

She did not add it to my business site. I am glad this is done.
