I know it may seem like a lot of work but I build all my themes from my own theme framework and in the framework I have a bunch of “placeholder” variables and texts that I just replace with my text editor’s “Find & Replace” function.
Additionally, EVEN if both themes have the same variable names, there shouldn’t be any conflict because only one can be active at a time, so only one theme has it’s code being executed.
Simply make sure the version numbers are different, make sure the folder/directory name is different and upload. Then using the version name, make sure your newer one is Activated. At this point, if you see errors or anything missing it could be down to several things. Options not being set in the new theme, missing widgets which are easy to drag from the Inactive Widgets section, or maybe there’s hard coded URLs or assets in the theme, which is poor practice and should be corrected anyway.
