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

Import and 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.
