Step 1

After you have downloaded the template package from our website, extract the archive to your local computer.

Open the folder and you will find the following contents:

Upload the contents of the folder called WHMCS Upload to your WHMCS directory:

You can rename the template folder from FlexHost to something else if you prefer.

Step 2

If you want to preview the template before activating it, you can append ?systpl=FlexHost to your URL, for example:

yourdomain.com/index.php?systpl=FlexHost

This will allow you to view the template privately for editing purposes without affecting your live website.

When you are ready to activate it, navigate to your WHMCS Administration panel and carry out the following steps:

• Configuration (wrench icon) > System Settings > General Settings
• Select FlexHost from the dropdown menu next to the Template option
• Save the changes

Installation and activation of the template is now complete.

Step 1 - PHP File

Create a new PHP file, for example wordpress-hosting.php, and insert the following content:

<?php

	# WHMCS PAGE DATA:

		// Page Title
		$page_title 		= "WordPress Hosting";

		// Template File
		$template_file 		= "wordpress-hosting";

	# BUILD PAGE:
	
		define("CLIENTAREA",true);
		require("init.php");
		$ca = new WHMCS_ClientArea();
		$ca->setPageTitle("".$page_title."");
		$ca->initPage();
		$ca->assign('pagetype', custom);
		$ca->setTemplate(''.$template_file.'');
		$ca->output();

?>

The $page_title and $template_file variable values can be changed to suit the name of your new page.

Once the PHP file has been created, upload it to your root WHMCS directory.

Step 2 - TPL File

It is now necessary to create a template file that will store the content for your new page.

Create a new TPL file, for example wordpress-hosting.tpl, and insert the following content:

<h3>WordPress Hosting</h3>
<p>You can insert the content for your new page here</p>

It's important that the name of your TPL file matches the $template_file variable value specified in the PHP file.

Once the TPL file has been created, upload it to your template folder.

Step 3 - Review Page

Your new page can be viewed by adding the PHP file name to your URL, for example:

yourdomain.com/wordpress-hosting.php

New Template Installations

If you experience an error with a new installation of the template that has not been modified in any way, this will most likely be caused by your WHMCS installation being a different version to the template and therefore not compatible.

As this is a version 8.9.0 template, it's essential to have version 8.9.0 of WHMCS software installed on your website to ensure that everything works correctly. Therefore, upgrading your WHMCS installation should resolve the problem.

It is also possible that the error you are experiencing is caused by the template not being installed incorrectly. Therefore, please refer to the installation instructions above to double check that the steps have been followed correctly.

Modified Template Installations

If you have made modifications to the template and you encounter errors, please try installing a fresh copy of the template to see if the error exists there as well. If it does, please refer to the guidance above relating to new installations.

If the error does not exist on a fresh installation of the template, this will indicate that the problem is related to modifications you have made to the template. It will be necessary to identify the problem code and remove or correct it in order to resolve the issue.
