In a few words, we have this active theme called themename
located in this folder :/public_html/wp-content/ .. /themename-wp
At this point, I am interested to install and use the same theme (the default settings version) but not updating, over the existing folder which contain some modifications in so many different places inside the files.
Reading different resources about this procedure, I am not so sure if renaming the new copied theme file (being inactive in this phase) from themename-wp
in newthemename-wp
will maintain the new installed theme 100% functional;
I have this concern because, If we need to replace the theme folder name into the theme files too, we have a situation:
-I've searched for themename-wp
name with Agent Ransack all the theme files and I've found only 2 .json
files containing this text. On the other hand,
-Searching for themename
without -wp
, which is the displayed name of the theme, there are about 60 files (.css
, .js
and mostly .php
's) that contain this text.
The question is:
-Should I find and replace the theme name only where appears as themename-wp
OR I need to make these changes in other files as well replacing themename
with newthemename
OR will be enough to rename the new copied theme file in newthemename
and that's all?
Thank you,
