Hi Sheryl,
Many thanks for your comprehensive reply 🙂
What I have managed to figure between me and my hosting company is that I am going to set up a subdomain and copy all my existing files accross. It will allow me to upload my new theme and develop away and then when its finished transfer the new files accross and remove the subdomain. So I hope this works.
Thanks for taking the to reply.

Yes, it is a paid theme…. Already contacted the vendor but unfortunately they couldn’t help as they no longer support the theme.
