Copying an entire forum

[FatCat]

Forum URL: (private)

Hello.

Recently, we have decided to re-new our forum and other staff agreed that we create a 'hidden' copied site of the original where we'd decide on any changes and see how it looks before implementing it on the original site. So I am not entirely sure how to do that- I wanted to just make another one with everything exactly from the original so we'd know where to start from and what to do. Any advice?

FatCat, it's not possible to copy an entire forum. However you may create another forum to use as a test site and replicate the layout.

Themes, of course can be exported/imported between forums - this includes the associated CSS and layout templates. Though you don't need a different forum for this if you are testing. You can just restrict who has access to the theme while it's being worked on.


Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions regarding this.
