Creating Sub-Menus in the Chiropractor2Web WordPress Theme

If you are using v1.2 of the Chiropractor2Web WordPress theme you can easily create sub-menus on your navigation bar. This short video shows you how:

New WordPress 2.8 Update for Chiropractor2Web Theme

WordPress 2.8 was just released, and it is definitely worth upgrading to. Some of the new features include:

• The ability to browse and install Themes from the Admin UI (instead of using FTP)
• Faster loading of admin pages
• Improved Widget management user interface

Some WordPress Theme Problems

The 2.8 release of WordPress also caused me some problems with the Chiropractor2Web theme. They changed the database format – specifically in the WP_POSTS table – and removed the post_category field.

This caused a problem with new installations of Chiropractor2Web theme – when you “activate” the theme it is supposed to automatically create the Contact, Find Us and Blog pages for you, but this was not happening due to the change.

And Some Fixes

I’ve updated the theme and everything is working fine now – so be sure to grab the latest version if you are installing it on WordPress 2.8! To get the updated theme, just go back to the link in the email you received from me, and re-download it.

Let me know in the comments or in the forums if you have any questions!

Note: You will not have any problems upgrading to WordPress 2.8 with the Chiropractor2Web theme. You only need this update if you are doing a new install on top of WordPress 2.8.

Chiropractor2Web Theme Update – v1.2

I’m excited to announce that we’ve just published a new version of the Chiropractor2Web WordPress theme, based on your feedback!

Here are some of the new features:

• Added the hCard microformat for business information (SEO benefit: Google Rich Snippets support)
• Ability to have Sub-menus using the Wordpress native Child-Parent function
• Formatting and layout issues caused by long business names is solved
• Continue Reading function using the tag for blog posts is now enabled
• Link to Help and Tutorials can now be found in the Theme Options Panel
• Option to exclude your email address from the page header
• Long home-page business descriptions will wrap-around the left
  image, eliminating white space.

To get the theme, just go to the WordPress Theme download page and sign up.

Upgrading from previous versions

If you already have a version of the Chiropractor2Web theme installed, I’ve posted upgrade instructions and the upgrade files in the forums here:

How to Change Your Sidebar Widgets

Over on Expand2Web I just posted a video that shows you how to change the default sidebar widget by replacing it with a newsletter signup form.

I’ve embedded the video below, and you can click here to read the whole tutorial on Expand2Web – How to Add a WordPress Widget to Your Website.

The Chiropractor2Web WordPress Theme has a default sidebar widget – the “Call Us Today” widget with the picture of the smiling receptionist. This default widget will show unless you go into your WordPress Admin panel and add a widget of your own.

Then this one will go away and be replaced by the widget(s) that you add. This video shows you how to do this.

Note: I’m using the excellent AWeber email newsletter service in this video.

Upload Patient Forms to Your Website

Do you want to provide pre-visit forms for your patients so they can fill them out before they come to your office?

With WordPress it is easy to upload any type of media, photos, audio, video, and documents and include them in your posts or pages.

In this short tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a new page called “First Visit”, add it to the navigation menu, and upload a PDF patient form to the page.
