Pregnancy WordPress Themes is a very flexible, well designed and completely responsive theme for WordPress. It was made for health clinic, hospital, and dentist websites, or any other institution that specializes in health care. You can customize this theme, as the process is quite simple.

The layout is amazing, and it will look great on iPhones, iPads, Tablets or Android Phones. In order to receive online payments and conduct transactions, WooCommerce was added. It is one of the most popular and trusted plugins on WordPress, implemented by the most successful themes. A plugin was incorporated, including 5 distinct post types: slider, departments, doctors, testimonials and services.

The Visual Composer can provide awesome customization, due to its drag and drop capabilities. Just like its name suggests, you only need to select an element and drop it in place. You can choose between several background options and fonts, and you may also change the entire color scheme of the site.

Video tutorials were implemented in order to guide you through the customization process. In addition, a detailed documentation source offers to explain every theme feature.

15. More Options


15.1 Child themes

Why use a Child theme?

Safe Updates. You can easily modify your website using child themes without ever changing the parent theme. When a new version of the parent theme appears, you can safely update it as all your modifications are saved in the child theme.

Easy to Extend. A child theme has a great flexibility. It does not require writing a lot of code. You can modify only those template files and functions that you need.

Note : When you install one of our themes you must upload both parent and child theme folders to wp-content / themes but you should only activate the Child theme via Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes.

Modifying files from the Parent theme folder

While you should never edit files in your Parent theme, if you really must, the safest way to do it is to download a copy of the file you want to modify on your computer, make the changes, and then upload it into your child theme folder.

Note : This way of modifying the files can be used for any files from the parent theme — note that you must re-create the same folder structure in your child theme that exist in the parent theme in order for the modifications to take effect.


15.2 Demo Content Fails: Seems Like An Error Has Occurred

If you attempted to import the Red Art theme sample demo data, but it never completes the installation process or it fails with errors, there could be several reasons. Please read the following information.

Likely Causes For Demo Import Failing

  • Your PHP memory, file upload size, and/or execution limits are set too low
  • Your web host uses process watching software that prevents bulk processing on their web servers.
  • You have define('WP_DEBUG', true), please change that to define('WP_DEBUG', true) for the import in your wp-config.php file
  • The import uses a JSON file which is loaded from the frontend of the website, this will not work when the domain is not connected to the WordPress installation.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

If the import stalls and fails to respond after a few minutes, or it fails with a simple error message like "Import failed," You are suffering from PHP configuration limits that are set too low to complete the process. You should contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

  • max_execution_time 180
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

How To Verify Your Current PHP Limits

You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin here. In addition, you can always contact your host and ask them what the current settings are and have them adjust them if needed. Please note though that many hosts will try to keep the PHP limits low without reason. However you are paying for it, and therefor should be getting your moneys worth.
