Update WordPress Theme to Latest Version – Beginner-Friendly Setup

My WordPress site still runs on the old Propel theme, which no longer keeps up with PHP 8.2 and now shows as “Not secure.” I’m ready to replace it with a fresh, modern theme that emphasizes ease of use for beginners and includes a true drag-and-drop builder. I’ll rely on you to handle the technical side while I focus on content.

What I need you to do
• Pick and install a new theme that supports PHP 8.2+, offers drag-and-drop editing, and stays intuitive enough for someone who’s used to the Wix block editor.
• Migrate all existing pages, posts, images, and menus so nothing is lost or broken.
• Recreate or tidy up the homepage, header, footer, and widgets to match the new design. If a demo layout speeds this up, feel free to import it.
• Configure SSL, force HTTPS, and confirm the browser shows the secure padlock.
• Install only the essential plugins for performance, backups, and security—no bloat.
• Test the entire site on desktop and mobile to be sure every link, form, and image works.

Once everything is live, stable, and secured, I’m ready to take the wheel.
