#### **FTP Installation Method**

If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

- Extract the **healnetic.zip** file on your computer
- Connect to your hosting server using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla)
- Go to the directory: wp-content/themes/
- Upload the extracted **Healnetic theme folder** into this directory
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel
- Navigate to **Appearance → Themes**
- Click **Activate** on the Healnetic theme

#### **Child Theme (Important)**

We strongly recommend using the **Healnetic Child Theme** for all customizations. This ensures your changes remain safe and are not overwritten during theme updates.

- The child theme is included in the theme package
- Install it the same way as the main theme
- After installation, activate the **Healnetic Child Theme** instead of the parent theme

#### **Install Required Plugins**

After activating the theme, WordPress will show a message to install the required plugins.
Click**“Begin Installing Plugins”** and activate them one by one.
These plugins are essential for the **Healnetic** features to work properly.
