I want to change my theme on WP, when I click on the preview theme button, my site looks a complete mess.

So my question, can I edit a new theme, while I keep my existing theme live?

Thanks in advance.
 
Until you publish changes, the site stays live as it was.

Surely that's what the preview post button is for?
 
Isn't there a way to load it onto a pc locally to play?

In Prophoto I can customise away at an alternative PP theme without publishing, but I think that's a ProPhoto thing? There's maybe a plugin.
 
If you have room on your webspace and extra mysql why not create a duplicate to play around with. When your happy with the change copy or transfer to where the live site is.
