I have a WordPress news website that has thousands of posts, I want to change the theme to a completely new one. I feel there are a lot of moving parts so just installing a new theme and plugins will be chaos considering news sites have a lot of moving parts. Can you suggest the best approach and workflow to use for those who have changed the theme on the big sites?

This will take long with thousands of posts like you said. I’m sure you need to create the backup. A full backup.
I googled about it and found [this guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-properly-change-a-wordpress-theme/). I’m sure it’ll help because they explained everything in detail and step by step
All the best.
Work on backup and publish after testing.
