    I finished testing our setup for our dev and the theme is doing great. we are now ready to merge the theme with our main website. 

    How can I use the child theme for my blog pages only and keep my Astra Theme for the main website without doing a multi-site?

    Can I have both running?

    Hi,

    Yes. You can install the blog site as the sub-folder of the main site. For example yoursite.com/blog-page.

    Here is a document detail: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-in-a-subdirectory-step-by-step/

    Thanks for that document, unfortunately, WP Engine does not allow for sub-folders or sub-domains

    I have seen plugins that can assist with a theme for pages vs posts but it is very outdated and don't want to rely on a plugin but have heard others doing this with their website.

    Hi,

    For this case, you should contact the WP Engine supporter and request they create a staging site for you.

    I have a complete staging environment already set up with my current website already copied and now setting up the blog side of things and that is where I am having the issue getting it to look like this https://dcgusadev.wpengine.com/

    Hi,

    Sorry for the miscommunication in the previous reply. Following the rules of WP Engine, there is no way to set up 2 WordPress themes & installing like the way you want.
