Installing WordPress Quickly and Easily

Before you can use the Chiropractor2Web WordPress Theme you’ll need to have WordPress installed.

If you get your WordPress hosting from BlueHost, you can install WordPress very easily. I’ve got a short video that shows how to install WordPress in five minutes or less that walks you through it.

Update: BlueHost is now recommending you use SimpleScripts instead of Fantastico for WordPress Installs. I’ve recorded a new video here – The Fastest Way to Install WordPress – Use SimpleScripts

Once you have WordPress installed, you can install the Chiropractic WordPress Theme and get your new chiropractic website up and running!

How To Add Your Own Map To The Find Us Page

Once you have the Chiropractor2Web WordPress Theme up and running on your site, you’ll want to customize your Map image on the Find Us page. I put in a default image, but of course you’ll want one that represents your business.

You can change these settings in the Chiropractor2Web Theme Options in the WordPress Admin panel. So log into your WordPress Admin, go to Design and then to the Options panel.

Here, you can specify your own image, and the URL that it will take them to if they click them map image.

To get your Google Map, go to http://maps.google.com and type in the address of your business like this:

And Google will give you a nice map that you can use for your site. Click on the Link section to get the hyperlink to your map.

Now here’s the tricky part. You need a 300×300 pixel screen capture of the map itself. If you have a nice screen shot capture tool, this will be easy.

Now just upload your image in the Chiropractor2Web Options panel (screen shot is above) and enter the link to your map, and you are all set! If you have any questions let us know in the comments below.
