Hello, all.
​
I’m new to WordPress, just to make it clear. I need to develop a social news-room/platform in WordPress for a University project.
​
I already know that WordPress is capable of doing everything we need it to do, but there is a small problem preventing me from properly working.
​
The project already has a website built in WP, fully designed and with a lot of content. I’m scared of messing around with themes and plugins needed for the part I’m in charge of and end up ruining the already existing content/design of the website.
Edit: for example, yesterday I added the BuddyX theme, which I intended to use for the user registration page, and it messed up the header of the website, in all pages. My heart skipped a beat but I managed to figure out how to fix it, eventually.
​
Could you give me some advices in how to safely work on my part of the project without risking the destruction of the rest?
I have software development experience, and in that area we use repositories, commits, etc, to safely work with branches. Is there something similar?
​
Thank you so much in advance. Cheers.
