You can achieve this via creating a new child theme.

like below:

suppose this is your current theme:

app\design\frontend\your_namespace\your_customtheme

Copy your current theme in same directory like below:

Now you have to update your code in theme.xml

It should like:

<!--
/**
 * Copyright © 2016 Magento. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>Custom child theme</title>
    <parent>your_parent_namespace/your_parent_theme</parent>
    <media>
        <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image>
    </media>
</theme>

Make sure you have to give your current theme name as a parent in newly created child theme.

  • For that you have to create one child theme. And you can assign your current theme as a parent. That's only way.
