Setting Up New Site Using 3.46

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of revamping an existing site that has been running Atahualpa 2.2.1. I am setting up a test site on another server to avoid downtime; I wish to use Atahualpa 3.46 on the new server. I will setup the new look (Atahualpa settings) on the new server and I wish to import the old database for the content. However, if I do this, I am afraid my new theme settings will be overwritten by the old Atahualpa settings. What is the best way to do this?

Thank you,

SupraTT
