When setting up each social profile icon it is necessary to add the following information:

We provide icons for the following social networks: facebook, twitter, gplus, yahoo, dribbble, linkedin, vimeo, youtube, tumblr, delicious, flickr, instagram, pinterest. And it is important to know that if you want to use the built in font icons, you should use the exact same name as we provide in the list above.
  • Social Network URL (i.e. http://facebook.com/flothemes)
  • Icon Image(optional) – in case you don’t like the default icons

Turning on the admin bar option will allow logged in admins to see the following bar at the top of your site:

Home_-_Mark_Allen_Your_Flow_-_Mark_Allen

Its a great tool for allowing you to quickly edit, pages and posts. Only admin users can see the tool bar.

Import / Export

The import and export area allows 3 things:

  • Importing Demo content – NOTE! Only do this if you are starting a new site.
  • Import – import of a Flothemes export file. This will apply all Flothemes settings from another site, or an old version of your site. Great for using as a simple settings backup.
  • Export – exporting of your Flothemes settings, to be used as a backup. This is not a database back up, just a settings backup. Its also great if creating multiple sites that are using the same theme and settings.
