2. Envato: If you have downloaded the Full Theme Package from ThemeForest, please unzip the master phox.zip file and then unzip the secondary whmcs.zip file which will give a whmcs folder. wdes Marketplace: Use the “template”, “orderform” and “module” folders from the package you just unzipped.
3. Open the “Template” folder and upload “Phox” to your WHMCS “/whmcs/templates/…”
4. Open the “OrderForm” folder and upload “Phox” to your WHMCS “/whmcs/templates/orderforms/…”
5. Open the “Module” folder and upload “phox_templates” to your WHMCS “/whmcs/modules/addons/…”
6. **IMPORTANT** – Once all theme files have been uploaded to your server, please proceed to the “WHMCS Admin Area > Addons > Phox WHMCS Templates” and “Manage” theme for which you have performed an update. After entering our addon page, you can implement all necessary changes in the database structure and perform automatic updates.![update Whmcs module](https://phox.wdes.org/docs/assets/update_Whmcs_module.Ccpvq97z_Z1SQpoU.webp)
