    5 Things to do Before Going for Wordpress Theme Modification

    One of the best things about WordPress themes is that you can change or modify them easily. However, before you happily click on links for modifying or changing WordPress themes, it is crucial that you implement certain precautions. We provide you with a list of precautions you should consider, before going for WordPress theme modification.

    Research Extensively about your Preferred Theme

    Switching themes just because everyone is doing so is not a good idea. You should always be sure about the reasons for changing your current theme. Do not change theme just for the sake of it. For best results, research extensively about your potential theme and note down the important information.

    Creating Backups is Crucial

    Creating backups is important because if anything goes wrong while modifying themes, you can rely on your backups. For staying on the safe side, create backups of the database, plug-ins and theme files. Remember that you will not lose anything, if you create backups.

    Take Help of the Maintenance Mode

    While changing the theme, it is best if you take help of the maintenance mode. This way, you can prevent the users from viewing your website as ‘broken’. Stick to the maintenance mode for 15-20 minutes and once you are done with changing the theme, turn it off.

    Customize Third Party Items

    Before changing themes, it is important to customize the third party items that you have included in your website. This way, the color scheme of your website will appear sensible and pleasing to the eyes.

    Check Browser Compatibility

    All themes may not look good in every browser. For this reason, it is better if you check the cross-browser compatibility of your selected theme, before using it finally.

    If you implement these strategies before changing your WordPress theme, chances are high that you will enjoy a positive experience and provide your users with the same.

    Great tips. Don't forget to match your theme with your objective. Are you selling stuff? Are you building an email list? Make sure the location for banner ads or opt in boxes is relevant to your blog objective.
