how to put my genesis website off line

[timothyw]

I've been experimenting with my site (making changes to css and php) and now would like to
either reinstall a clean sample Genesis theme or try others, but retain my media, content files and plugins etc.
so I can reuse some or all with the new unaltered theme

I've at least learned to clearly annotate every change I make to both Style and Functions, so I can find my way back to the clean code.

Not exactly a backup, which to me would be a set of files I could use if my site got disabled some how.
I have a test subdomain, does that serve the purpose?

thanks

You can activate a default WordPress theme, and retain all your content and media etc. Then, delete the child theme you are using, and the Genesis framework, and then reinstall.

Thankyou so much for the info.
Sorry I did not reply quicker.

An interesting side note; We've been experimenting with 'child of child' for Genesis themes for quickly switching themes but keeping things. So far there are some pros and some cons, but if we reach a final conclusion we'll post.
