Hello George,

Thanks for responding!

Let me reiterate the issue to make it a little clearer.

We were planning to update the look-and-feel of our website but not for all the pages. We wanted to keep our product pages the way they are right now and apply a new theme to just the pages under /blogs.

To get this done, we hired an agency as we did not have the technical expertise to get it done inhouse. The agency assessed our project and said that it would be possible to use two different themes in the same website (one for the product pages – the existing one, and one of the blogs – a new theme).

Halfway through the project, the project lead called us up and told us that our website uses WP Engine which doesn’t allow the usage of two different themes in the same website and that we need to host the blog site with the new theme using a separate instance.

As this was an assessment mistake on their end, they said that they would host our blog site using their own cPanel for a year and we just have to point our domain to that IP. Now, my question is will doing this be bad for our website? Is there any workaround for this? What do you think would be the best way to deal with this.

As stated earlier, I’m not that fluent with WP, so if you need any more details, I can ask my colleagues to share them here.
