Installation
- Download and install the latest version of WordPress on your domain. See wordpress.org for info.
- Download the Medical Theme from your members account downloads area.
- Unzip the downloaded file and upload the interior folder without the version number to your themes folder (wp-content/themes/). I recommended using FTP software such as filezilla.
- You can also upload the theme by going to your Appearance->Theme section and add new theme.
- Go to your appearance section in your WordPress admin and click themes. Look for the Medical Clinic Theme and activate it.
Appointment Form Setup
To use the contact form on the home page like seen in the demo you first will need to download the contact form 7 plugin.

To setup the appointment form as seen in the demo:
1. Create a new form and add title and setup all the options relevant to your site.
2. Paste the following text in the form area:
<div class="form-row clearfix">
<div class="col-half">
</div>
<div class="col-half">
[email* email-119 placeholder "EMAIL"]
</div>
<div class="col-half">
</div>
<div class="col-half">
[date* date-622 class:unstyled placeholder "Date"]

<div class="col-medium">
[textarea* textarea-534 x1 placeholder "Message"]
</div>
<div class="col">
[submit "SEND"]
</div>
