PAGE 4 – Changing Theme Options

Hello All! I wanted to create this quick and simple training tutorial to illustrate why it is a very good idea to have a test Site Rubix website. However when you set it up you do NOT have to activate the All-in-One SEO Pack Plugin. Since you are using it strictly for testing, there is no need for it to be indexed.

REASONS WHY I HAVE A TEST SITE

There are many reasons why I have a test website. There will be times when I create a website and I will want to test how certain things look without disturbing my already live website. For example, on my Legitimate Job From Home website I wanted to change the default WordPress text logo that came with the theme to something that was more unique.

So I took my test website which had the same exact theme I had on my live website and started creating different text logos. Then I would place them into the header so I could see how things looked. Once I found the one I liked, I uploaded it on my live website, see image below.

By using a test website it saves me the possible problem of breaking my live website by adding & deleting logos multiple times. I was able to make these text logos with the free online text logo maker that I had provided a link to in my training at the below link.

I recently added a test site as per some members suggestions. It has been really helpful. I'm currently in the process of trying to rearrange my menu and I am doing it on my test site first just to make sure there won't be any glitches when i make the changes on my real site.

Thanks for the heads up on the plugins. I'm pretty sure I have them all activated on my test site. I will deactivate those today.

You are welcome Tanya. There is no reason to have them activated because you sure do not want the website to be indexed into Google.

A test website is a great asset to use in making sure things look right and work right before sending something live.

I checked my test site and those plugins weren't activated. But they are in my first siterubix site that I transferred to my own domain. I was using that as a test site at first, but then I ended up creating a site entirely for testing. I am going to disable the plugins on that site now.

Good. All strictly test sites should not have the All-in-One SEO activity.

I noticed I had checked all of the boxes so that search engines wouldn't follow, but now I have deleted it completely.
