*If only* I could find a reasonably priced WP Theme helper. I need to move my StudioPress site (*Authority Pro*), to a new theme that will focus on my blog…as in blog as the homepage. I have two Themes in mind and need a little customization…but not much. Site: [https://www.thefranchiseking.com]) (Note: someone told me like a year ago that it’s a bit challenging because PAGES don’t always transfer or something when moving from Genesis.

If you used a page builder to create your current site, and the new theme uses a different page builder, then yes, you’ll need to recreate the pages from scratch.
If you didn’t use a page builder, then you are fine to simply install the new theme and it should just work straight away.
Download your site backup, setup Local from [localwp.com]) and test it out. Don’t test on your live site.
