Installing MediPro Themes
MediPro Themes use a parent and child theme architecture. To ensure proper functionality and easy updates, always install the MediPro Parent Theme first, followed by the purchased child theme.
Step 1: Install the MediPro Parent Theme
The MediPro Parent Theme provides the core framework, reusable components, styling system, and functionality required by all MediPro child themes.

- Navigate to:
Appearance → Themes - Click:
Add New → Upload Theme - Select the MediPro Parent Theme ZIP file.
- Click:
Install Now - After installation, click:

*Important: Do not customize the parent theme directly. All customizations should be made through the child theme to ensure updates do not overwrite your changes.

Steps:

Updating MediPro Themes
MediPro themes are designed using a parent and child theme structure. Updates to the parent theme can be applied safely without losing your child theme customizations.
Steps:
- Update the MediPro Parent Theme when updates are available.
- Keep your child theme active.
- Do not replace the child theme unless installing a newer version.
Important Note
Never edit files inside the MediPro Parent Theme. Any custom changes should be added through the child theme or WordPress customization tools.
