    Hi there,

    I have an HTML site uploaded via FTP to my domain but I also have a wordpress theme installed on my server as well.

    I want to use the wordpress theme to do some testing to create a mock-up design for another site without it being visible.

    I noticed that my HTML site is still visible when I type my domain name (which is what I want) but I was wondering if having the installed wordpress theme will have an impact on SEO if I insert (different) content to my installed wordpress theme?

    Can I continue to used the backend wordpress test theme installed under the same domain without it impacting my HTML site?

    I am not sure how the HTML site and wordpress site under one domain works.. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Create a subdomain called test.yourdomain.com. Install your wordpress site on the subdomain. Once you are finished with development you can move it to your real domain and take down the old site.

    Create a subdomain called test.yourdomain.com. Install your wordpress site on the subdomain

    to add to this dont forget to add a maintenance plugin,which displays website only to logged in users else google with index your test site. not at all good for SEO
