Can I make an entire new layout without deleting my actual one?

[MrK]

Hi guys,
first thanks for all of your help, you supported me and my work for years now.

I’m about to renew my portfolio layout (using X-Pro).
I activated the under construction plugin.

Now I would like to make a complete new layout without deleting my old one and without making a copy of my WP installation.

I know I can easily do it for the header your showed me how.
But what about the full design? Like full layout instead of boxed, extra css I added and I don’t want on the new layout etc?

There’s a way I can start with a fresh new layout without deleting my actual one?

thanks

Hello @MrK,

Thanks for writing in!

I believe you are referring to the entire website. In case of entire website, if you don’t want to lose existing changes then you either need to take a complete backup or setup a staging installation.

Having said that if you are looking to make changes in a single page then I suggest you to take a look at template manager. Please take a look at following resource for more information:

Template Manager | Themeco Docs

Thanks.

Hi Prasant,
thanks for the reply. No mayor changes to functions was just design. I used the templates and presets and commented css as you advised.

thanks for your help
