    Hi - I have an older instance of Lifestyle at: http://www.HolisticHowTo.com. I've been testing Lifestyle Pro on another site, and am ready to migrate my old instance to the new Pro version. Couple of questions:

    1) I understand that I should first create a new folder and install WP, but where should I create this folder? Would a subdirectory off of the HolisticHowTo.com root work?
    2) Once I've installed WP, Genesis Framework, and Lifestyle Pro, in this new folder, and then export/import my current site content into the new installation, it will all be in this new folder. How do I get the contents of this folder back to the root: HolisticHowTo.com?

    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Since you are testing on other website, finalize the look on it and then directly upload theme to live website. Make homepage widget adjustments and you are good to go.

    For other alternative, you can make new folder in website root, install wordpress, add some demo content and do theme styling theme. Once done, install theme on live website.
