Hello,

I have the jupiter theme with Visual composer on my site and would like to change to Generate Press = Elementor.

Would this be possible?
Would I lose everything?
Anything I should do to facilitate this?

Thanks
Carole

Hi Carole,

Since they're completely different systems, you would likely need to re-build all of your content within Elementor. The change won't be seamless.

I would suggest doing it on a staging server. Once it's all done, move the staging server to the live server.

Let me know if you need more info :)

Thank you Tom!

Do you think I could rebuild my site in my emtpy subdomain and then upload it to the main domain when complete?
Thanks

Exactly. You could use a plugin like Duplicator to transfer the site to the live domain when ready :)

I am resetting everything now
Do I need a child theme?
Thanks Tom

Child theme is not required.
