    Hello-

    I have a website that has been using the geodirectory plugin with premium addons for a couple of years. The theme for the website was something called Borderland. It didn’t work perfectly, but well enough. I now am growing frustrated with and realize I should probably stick a theme built for the geodirectory plugin. The thing is I want to maintain the structure of the site, with the pages I have added content to…it is not a strict directory site. How should I best go about switching the theme? Is there documentation on how to do this with a site that already exists?

    Thank you,

    Caryl

    We can give you a couple pointers, but if you need more help you could contact a GD Expert for hands on support: https://geodirectoryexperts.com

    GD should work with any theme, so, pick one you like and if there are layout issues let us know and we will help with that. People choose all kinds of different themes and that’s ok.

    Things to do:

    Backup your site
    Clone your site and set up the new site as a place to test new themes
    Make notes about what changes must be made to markup
    Switch some markup from shortcodes to HTML that will run under any theme
    Once you choose a theme, make a new clone of the site
    Decide whether you will work on a development/staging site or execute changes on the live site. We definitely recommend working on a development site.
