Updating Theme Advice


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Just need some advice on something. I currently have a online store running on the latest version of Prestashop and would like to change to a new theme that is more compatible with mobiles and tablets, so what I was wondering is:

----------------

What is the best way of doing that?

1. Duplicate my live site and database onto a test environment (leaving the live site untouched and live), switch over to the new theme and do all the changes that are required then migrate the 'new' site, installation, theme and database) back to my live server replacing the old site.

or

2. Duplicate my live site and database onto a test environment (leaving the live site untouched and live), switch over to the new theme and do all the changes that are required then export the 'new' theme and import it to the live site.

----------------

The reason I ask is i've always done number 1 in the past but I don't know how to transfer any new customers / orders that I receive on the live site after i've duplicated the database to the test server.

Any advice from you guys would be a great help.

Chris.
