## Description

Make a website for a medical office or collective in a snap. I build this kind of
website for clients very frequently, and now I am sharing one of the ways I do it
with the community.

Adds the “provider” post type, and the “specialty” category — however, you can swap
the names to “practitioner” and “modality,” which I’ve found to be somewhat more
popular among complimentary medicine providers like acupuncturists or chiropractors.

Upload headshots, set biographies, and specify professional suffixes (all those 
letters after a doctor’s name!) and titles for each provider. Create directories
of providers, either in total or per specialty.

Adds custom WordPress Blocks to display your practitioners and specialties wherever
you like.

#### Special integrations with the Avada Theme & Fusion Builder plugin

This plugin adds the “Provider” and “Specialty” fusion builder elements, with various
easy customization settings.

Puts professional suffixes and title into the Avada Page Title Bar on single provider
pages.

### Theming

If you are working on a custom theme and want to make your own layout for providers
and specialties pages, I recommend you create the following page templates to add
to your theme folder:

 * single-provider.php
 * taxonomy-specialty.php

I also notice that commonly, provider name sizes and margins need adjusting. Here’s
a snippet of css to add to your theme to get you started:

    ```
    h3.provider-title {
      font-size: 25px;
      margin: .5rem 0;
    }
    ```

Adjust values to taste. 🙂

    Specialties”
 4. Drop in the “Provider” and “Specialties” WordPress blocks onto any page where you
    need them.

## FAQ

### How do I add an image to specialties?

Please install the wonderful (and free) plugin “[Categories Images](https://wordpress.org/plugins/categories-images/)”
by Muhammad El Zahlan to enable images for specialties.

### My provider pages show 404

Please visit the Settings > Permalink page in the WordPress Admin to refresh your
permalinks.

### How do I change the post type name from providers to practitioners?

Go to Settings > Simple Clinic Settings. The settings you need are there. You may
need to refresh your permalinks after making changes.

### Do the block names change too?

No, sorry. The blocks will always be called “Providers” and “Specialties” in the
WP admin.
