MIgrating a custom wordpress to GeneratePress
3 replies · Started by Soren on December 9, 2021
A quick question:
I got a custom developed wordpress site that collects leads via forms, and then stores them in wordpress database.
If I install a GeneratePress theme to replace the current theme (in a staging environment), then the entire current database will be wiped out and replaced by GP database well, correct?
Hi there,

No.
GP writes its customization settings to the Options table in your database.
And i assume this is the case for your current theme.
So switching theme will not overwrite your current themes settings. Which means you should be able to switch between themes and see each of their templates and settings.
Fantastic, David.
I will set up a staging environment and test this out. I sounds almost too good to be true.
Thanks a million David
You're welcome
