WordPress Theme Setup Guide

Install WordPress on Your Host

Most hosting providers offer 1-click WordPress installation:

• SiteGround: Site Tools → WordPress → Install
• Bluehost: My Sites → Add Site → Install WordPress
• GoDaddy: My Products → Managed WordPress → Get Started
• A2 Hosting: cPanel → Softaculous → WordPress

Set your site title, admin username, and password during installation. Save these credentials — you'll need them to log in.

Log In to WordPress Dashboard

Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with the credentials you created.

You should see the WordPress Dashboard — the admin area where you manage your site.

Upload Your Theme ZIP File

In the WordPress Dashboard:

1. Go to Appearance → Themes
2. Click Add New Theme at the top
3. Click Upload Theme
4. Click Choose File and select the .zip file you downloaded from your Client Portal
5. Click Install Now
6. Once installed, click Activate

Run the Setup Wizard

After activating the theme, the Setup Wizard will launch automatically. If it doesn't, go to Appearance → Setup Wizard in the sidebar.

The wizard walks you through:

• Practice Info — Name, phone, email, address
• Office Hours — Your weekly schedule
• Colors & Branding — Primary color, accent color, background
• Hero Section — Headline, subtext, call-to-action buttons
• CTA Buttons — Schedule, Contact, Intake Form links
• Booking & Payments — Booking embed code, Stripe payment links

Fill in each section and click Save when you're done. The wizard will redirect you to the Customizer where you can upload your logo and hero image.

Upload Your Logo & Hero Image

In the WordPress Customizer (Appearance → Customize):

• Site Identity → Logo — Upload your practice logo (recommended: 320×100px or similar)
• Hero Section → Hero Image — Upload a hero background image (recommended: 1920×600px)

Click Publish to save your changes.

Create Your Pages (Optional)

Most themes auto-create starter pages during the wizard. If yours didn't, or you want to add more:

1. Go to Pages → Add New Page
2. Give it a title (e.g., "About Us", "Services", "Contact")
3. Write your content using the WordPress block editor
4. Click Publish

Fine-Tune in the Customizer

Go to Appearance → Customize to adjust:

• Colors — Primary, accent, background, heading, and text colors
• Services — Edit service names, descriptions, and icons
• Testimonials — Add or edit patient testimonials
• Office Hours — Update your schedule anytime
• Social Links — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn
• Announcement Bar — Optional top banner with custom message

Every change previews live before you publish.
