really sorry for the plethora of questions here, you have been very helpful.

1 – Once I have decided I have a final version on my subdomain, how do I go about replacing the original site with this new version? this is important because the previous developer tweaked a lot of code that I am trying to circumvent with a new installation. This is important because I dont want there to be any real down-time switching between old version and new version.

2 – Plugins for SEO – will I need to reactivate these? I am assuming it will just have a day with 0 visitors as it re-calibrates?

3 – Users – Can we use the same login credentials on the new site? when I transition the new site over to the old domain, will it retain those new users or do we then have to remake the users again?

sorry for all the questions, but these are some of the answers I havent been able to find on other guides.

Thanks!

appreciate the help, just to clarify, is the sub folder the same as installing it on a sub-directory? This is my first time doing this and my company doesn’t want to outsource this task, so I am in charge of setting this up (aka I am now the server admin…) yeah not the best decision, but I am in charge of doing it.
