## How do I install the Coowhm WHMCS template & orderform?#back to top

Before installing the template, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted template files. the screenshot below as an example only.

documentation: this folder has the docs files

WHMCS (7.8.x): this folder has the all template & orderforms files

changelog & updates.txt: this txt file has all updates and changelogs of the template

please read this before installing the tempalte! Plese make sure that template version, which you are trying to install is compatible with your WHMCS installation!

Let’s walk you through how to install the Coowhm WHMCS template properly. To complete this tutorial, you will need your FTP login credentials for your hosting environment, your favorite FTP client, and finally the download files from themeforest.
I would recommend either FileZilla for Windows/Mac

Let’s head over to the local folder in which you saved the theme download. The file is a ZIP archive and will need to be extracted. Mac users can easily do this by double-clicking on the .zip file, and it will unzip the contents into a folder with the same name as the download. Windows users can use the default ZIP extraction tool, or you can use something like WinZip or WinRar to do this for you. Either way, once you’re done, you will have a folder with the theme contents. Fire up your favorite FTP client and connect to your hosting environment. You will need to navigate to the root directory of your WHMCS installation. If you’re not sure what the root directory is, it will be the folder that contains the config.php file for your WHMCS installation.

In the FTP client, you can locally browse to the unzipped folder of the template download. Inside of the download files in WHMCS (7.8.x) folder, you will find another folder called “upload.” This folder contains all of the files that need to be uploaded to the root WHMCS installation directory. However, do not upload the “upload” folder, just the files inside of it! Once the upload is complete, we can go through the process of installing your template and orderform.

Changing your default template & orderform

When you’re ready for your clients to see your new template, you will need to head to “Setup” > “General Settings” and wait for the page to load. Look for the option called “Template” and change it to “coowhm” Save your changes, and the new template will be live!.

Our WHMCS template support all WHMCS order forms & Our own orderform also: Coowhm Cart
You will need to change your default order form template to our if you want to use it. To do this, you will head to “Setup” > “General Settings” > “Ordering.” Once the page loads, you will select the order form and click “Save Changes.”
