I’ve been doing a job that the customer has required their site to stay online and the same way until all the changes are made. How can I do that ?? Would I have to use another domain?? I would like to change the theme but am afraid that the site will not come back as before.
I tested the theme using the THEME TEST DRIVE plugin and the site gave a slight flaw in css when returning.

Here’s what I would do
Clone/backup the database
Create another database with cloned data
Duplicate (copy and put) the entire WP installation to another folder ex /public_html/novo
Alter in wp-config.php to point the data set to the cloned database.
Fix the possible errors you will get because of the URL, basically a link like this http://meudominio.com.br/nome-do-post would have to stay http://meudominio.com.br/novo/nome-do-post. Of course this will change according to where you put the copy. The wp-cli can help a lot, not only in this but in other things too.
At that point Voce should have a copy of the site working independently, ai can make your changes and tests without affecting the current site.
