how to change a theme slug

For a theme name Hello World a search and replace should be done in phases.

  1. Make sure you do a case sensitive search and replace.
  2. Replace Hello World with Example Name
  3. Replace hello-world with example-name
  4. Replace hello_world with example_name
  5. Modify theme folder name
  6. Look for any other namespaces that the theme uses and replace accordingly.

These steps will ensure that there is no unintended replacement which may break the theme.
