    I have just purchased the Clip Cart theme and Genesis Framework for a new web project. The client has an existing website built in CMS that I want to leave alone and keep public until I am ready with the new WordPress site. My question is this, Is it possible to install it in the root directory with the other site files at the same time and have it private until I’m ready to delete the other site? Thankyou

    Well, the URL won’t work properly I don’t think and you shouldn’t mix your files. I would recommend installing it in a subfolder (i.e., wordpress or wp). Work on it from there and then when you are ready to go live – point the domain name to the subfolder instead of the root. You can install the plugin called “Private Only” so it would be private and only you would be able to see it until your turn private only off.

    Yes, thankyou for your reply. I think I knew that but thought I’d ask anyways.
