Maintaining Permalinks While Changing from non-SP Theme to SP Theme

[pj001]

Hello All,

I have to change my non Studio Press theme to a theme that is mobile friendly, seo friendly, etc. etc. etc. It looks like SP is a great fit:)

It is imperative that my permalinks stay the same. Are there any tips anyone could give me in advance? Is simply, buy it, install it, enable permalinks (or something like that), and all will be well?

Thanks In Advance,
PJ

Hello,

I'm just at the same point!

I installed the new SP theme today and at the beginning I was afraid because I saw a black page with no contents so I restored the old theme.

I opened a ticket to SP and they quickly answered: after installing the new SP theme, I have to work with widgets and menus in order to personalize it. Because it's not automatic that you get the menu etc... as was with the old theme.
The permalinks will be the same.

Here’s a great article that explains what happens when you switch to a new theme: http://bobwp.com/happens-content-change-theme/

I'm going to do the change next week.....

I hope this can help

All your posts and pages will be in the same place. The home page, depending on which child theme you use, will have to built from widget areas. So just copy and paste the content from your site somewhere before you switch themes so you don't lose it. Every theme comes with tutorials which makes it really easy.
