Titles and Links
The titles and links tab is for generic titles that are used on the theme, including taxonomy options for specific post types.
Blog Page Title – this is only relevant if setting up the blog page using Settings > Reading which is not the preferred option.
Search Title – the label for any search results pages:
Gallery Link URL – this is the custom taxonomy for your gallery posts. When a user goes to a single gallery post, it will have the following structure /gallery/name-of-gallery
Gallery Categories URL – Again this is similar, but will be in the structure /gallery-category name
Gallery Tags URL – Again this is similar to gallery categories, but will be in the structure /gallery-tag name
Its not recommended to change these unless you require custom permalinks for the post type.
Analytics
In the following section you can add any tracking codes for your site, including Google analytics. Just copy and paste the code and it will be added to the header of the site.
Favicon

Make sure to upload a .ico file to use on your site.
Admin Bar
Turning on the admin bar option will allow logged in admins to see the following bar at the top of your site:
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.
