| Mar 11, 2014 at 15:18 | comment | added | Wayners247 | Again thanks for the advice.It is just a theme update, however the theme and its files overwrite some older files which then causes an issue with the current active theme on the site; hence my quandary. I think I will do as you recommend and create a complete copy of the site as it is currently, files and db to a new location on the server. | |

I still think your best option is to make a development server. Typically I NEVER edit on a live site, I create a VMware, or virtualbox locally, edit and change things there and then when its "perfect", take the commited changes(from git) and merge them in on live. You can easily do what your trying to do on live, but you would be a lot safer to create a local copy and work there. | |
| Mar 11, 2014 at 15:13 | comment | added | Wayners247 | Thank you. All I really want to do is setup a new theme/design without affecting the current live environment. As this is mainly file changes and small changes in the DB to allow the site to load the correct theme (via magento admin) I wanted to know the best way to achieve this. | |
| Mar 11, 2014 at 15:10 | comment | added | Aepod | It totally will affect the DB. I edited my comment to reflect that. | |
| Mar 11, 2014 at 15:07 | comment | added | Wayners247 | And this wont affect the DB at all? I need it as a multi-site store so as to test the new theme/design files. | |
