I am a beginner and have created a website with a Divi theme. I want to integrate WHMCS into my website without having to pay for another theme or create a new website from scratch. One suggestion I received was to change the theme to "Divi Breeze," but I am unsure about its current status and if it is still supported as the last update seems like a long time ago in the tech world.

As a reseller, hosting is the only service I provide. Therefore, I installed WHMCS in a separate cPanel account with a subdomain URL - whmcs.mybusinesswebsite.com. However, what I really want is for WHMCS to be integrated as a page on my existing Divi theme site rather than a separate site.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To achieve a seamless integration where even the address bar remains the same, a fully integrated WordPress plugin is necessary. However, it may not be as tidy as desired to have both the main site navigation and the WHMCS navigation bar in the system without having templates that are closely matched or using backlinks on full order pages and tabs.

Alternatively, if WordPress is used solely for creating pages, a better option might be to utilize one of the CMS modules for WHMCS instead of WordPress. This way, the modules can handle the job of creating pages with user-friendly URLs while maintaining consistency in the interface and layout. But it's worth noting that the page editor in WordPress may be superior to the CMS module editor.

Integrating WHMCS into your existing Divi theme website is certainly possible without changing the theme or creating a new website from scratch. You don't necessarily need to switch to "Divi Breeze" if you're unsure about its support status.

To integrate WHMCS as a page on your existing Divi theme site, here are a few steps you can follow:

1. Configure WHMCS: Make sure your WHMCS installation is properly configured and set up to work with your hosting services. Ensure that all necessary settings and modules are in place.

2. Create a WHMCS Page in Divi: In your Divi theme, create a new page where you want the WHMCS integration to appear. You can do this by going to your WordPress dashboard, selecting "Pages," and then clicking "Add New." Give the page a relevant title, like "Hosting Services" or "Client Portal."

3. Embed WHMCS Client Area: To embed the WHMCS client area into your Divi page, you can use an iframe or a shortcode. WHMCS provides a client area shortcode that you can use to display the login or registration form, client dashboard, or other specific elements. Simply copy the appropriate shortcode provided by WHMCS and paste it into the content editor of your Divi page.

4. Customize the Design: Use Divi's built-in design tools to customize the appearance of your WHMCS integration. You can modify fonts, colors, layouts, and more to match the style of your existing Divi theme.

5. Test and Optimize: Once the integration is set up, thoroughly test the functionality to ensure everything works as intended. Check the user experience, responsiveness, and any custom forms or checkout processes.

Remember to keep your WHMCS installation secure by taking appropriate security measures, such as updating regularly, using strong passwords, and implementing any recommended security modules.
