    Hi All,

    I just purchased everything and I was wondering how you all convert existing sites to the genesis/child stuff without messing up your live site. I need to reconfigure, design etc. before making it live and I don't want to loose my existing content. Thanks All!

    The following is my (non-professional) advice - so hopefully someone more experienced will respond to your thread.

    But in the meantime:
    Do you have access to a test site? That is the best "before going live" option.

    If your hosting plan gives you # of wp installations, use one as the test site for your Genesis "stuff."

    Keep your live site, "live." And export/download your entire live site as back up.

    Building your "test" site with Genesis: You can either "import" your downloaded files to your test site. Or you can copy/paste each page, post, etc.

    When the test site is ready to go live, you can redirect your URL from the current live site to the Genesis version.
