Updating a published site runs the risk of breaks, functionality issues and potentially causing the entire site to crash. Rather use a WordPress staging site, or sandbox environment to confirm everything works correctly before going live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A WordPress staging site is a clone of your WordPress website. It is a separate environment used to edit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/knowledgebase\/wordpress\/wordpress-free-templates\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com\u00ae KBs - Does WordPress Have Free Templates\" title=\"Hosted.com\u00ae - Does WordPress Have Free Templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">themes and templates<\/a>, test new features, and update plugins that allow you to make changes behind the scenes without affecting your live site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/knowledgebase\/wordpress\/wordpress-staging-site\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com\u00ae KBs - How To Set Up A WordPress Staging Site\" title=\"Hosted.com\u00ae - How To Set Up A WordPress Staging Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress staging site<\/a>, you can experiment with your site\u2019s appearance and functionality without worrying about compatibility issues, breaks, or downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have finished updating your staging site and have confirmed everything is working correctly, you can clone it back as your revamped website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-change-a-word-press-theme\">Why Change or Upload a Theme?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your WordPress theme and uploading a new one can be beneficial for several reasons. Some of the most common ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"design-branding\">Design &amp; Branding<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider updating your theme if you use an older theme. This can give your site a fresher, more modern look and feel. An outdated theme may make visitors less likely to return or make a purchase. Also, you may want to alter your theme to take advantage of any new branding changes you implemented, like colors, typography, etc. that are now reflected on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"features-functionality\">Features &amp; Functionality<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>As your website grows you may find that your current theme no longer gives you the features and functionality you need, such as more robust e-commerce tools and payment gateways, customization, or social media integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mobile-responsiveness\">Mobile Responsiveness<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With more people using mobile devices to access the internet and shop online than ever, having a mobile-responsive website is essential. Additionally, if your current theme is not mobile-friendly, changing it will also help with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), as search engines prefer responsive sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improved-performance\">Improved Performance<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing to a faster theme is recommended if your website loads slowly or has problems with plugins and other functions. A slow page can create a poor user experience and lead to potential customers leaving your page before it finishes loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your theme to a newer, more modern one can improve your website\u2019s performance, help it load faster, improve user experience, and help visitors stay on your site and complete purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"better-security\">Better Security<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Using an outdated theme can lead to security vulnerabilities that can put your site and visitors at risk. Using a newer theme that is updated regularly can help prevent unauthorized access, data theft, or harm to your site and server and keep your website secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plugin-theme-compatibility\">Plugin &amp; Theme Compatibility<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When you integrate new plugins with an older theme, you may find this causes issues with your site. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosted.com\/knowledgebase\/wordpress\/incompatible-wordpress-plugins\/\" alt=\"Link to Hosted.com\u00ae KBs - Incompatible WordPress Plugins\" title=\"Hosted.com\u00ae - Incompatible WordPress Plugins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Incompatible plugins<\/a> will not work correctly, may cause site breaks, or potentially crash your website completely. Older themes may also not be compatible with the latest version of the WordPress software, leading to similar functional and performance issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>              <div id=\"eckb-article-content-footer\"><div class=\"eckb-article-content-footer__article-meta\"><div class=\"eckb-ach__article-meta__views_counter\"><span class=\"eckb-ach__article-meta__views_counter-icon epkbfa epkbfa-signal\"><\/span><span class=\"eckb-ach__article-meta__views_counter__text\">Views<\/span><span class=\"eckb-ach__article-meta__views_counter__name\">151<\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<section id=\"eprf-article-buttons-container\" class=\"eprf-rating-mode-like-dislike eprf-afc--reset\">\t\t\t\r\n\t<div\r\n\t\t\tclass=\"eprf-like-dislike-module eprf-like-dislike-module--layout-1 \">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"eprf-like-dislike-module__text\"  style=\"color: #003e71;
