work on laytheme mantaining old website active

[robsdonatini]

Hello!

I would like to know if it's any possibility to work on laytheme – maybe using other slugs – and keeping this website active while I'm building the new version of it on the same wordpress. Is there any way to make this possible? Or should I install another wordpress and shift the domain after?

https://www.landcho.eu/

Thanks :)

hey i dont think so. you should probably create a new wordpress installation
either on a subdomain or locally with the localwp application.
then you'd need to move the website once ur done to replace the old one
you could use a plugin like duplicator

Dear @arminunruh
The current website https://www.landcho.eu/ runs on Aruba.
We would like to buy a new hosting, built the new website with laytheme, and then change the domain, de-activating it the name from Aruba and activating it on the new hosting. Is this possible you think?

Thanks

[arminunruh]

yes sure its possible!

so if u want to use this domain from aruba maybe you can transfer this domain to your new webhost

just google how to transfer a domain

when changing the domain of a website, the URLs in the database need to get updated

u can use this plugin

Ok everything is clear thanks.
Do you think this https://supporthost.com/shared-hosting/ option share 2 + CDN activation will work nicely?
