Is is possible to replace my current website and existing blog with PlatformPro?

[wandr_mari 0]

I have a hobby site that I want to redo. Currently, it's a website plus a blog. http://www.mischiefmaricookies.com What I want to know is this: can I replace the site and the existing blog with PlatformPro without messing up the blog and its database? When I replace everything with PlatformPro, I plan to keep the URLs the same - the home url will not change, neither the blog url, and so on. I am assuming that once I take down the old site and blog, replace it with PlatformPro, reinstall the Wordpress database in PlatformPro, everything should be working as it was before, correct? Or am I just off my gourd for trying to do this?

The database will probably change, but that does not mean the blog content (posts, for example) will have to disappear when you take down the old site and blog. There is a way of saving that content and then uploading it when you switch to PlatformPro (Dashboard > Tools > Export). Of course, there will be adjustments that need to be made when you switch themes, but at least you don't have to lose content you already have. The URLs can stay the same, too. Does that help?

Catrina, Yes, that does help. I'll give it a try...Thanks for responding.
