Flatsome Review
About Flatsome
Flatsome is designed and developed by UX Themes and is one of the most popular and top-rated themes on Themeforest with over 30,000 sales. UX Themes' goal is to design themes that are easy to use and customize even if you don't know any code.
Flatsome 3.1 is the latest version of this popular theme. Version 3.0 was completely rebuilt from scratch and includes many more options and features than the previous version.
While it is designed to easily integrate with italy phone number WooCommerce for eCommerce sites, it can also be used as a multipurpose theme for any type of site.
Features of Flatsome
Flatsome has a ton of unique tools and options that set it apart. Here are the key features:
WooCommerce Integration
Flatsome can be used as a multipurpose theme, but it was primarily designed to integrate with the free WooCommerce plugin to run eCommerce sites.
By default, Flatsome will display a shopping cart icon in the header, and has many options that make it easy to display all your WooCommerce products.
Setup Wizard
After installing and activating the Flatsome theme, you will be automatically redirected to a setup wizard that will guide you through the initial process.
(If you want to skip the wizard for now, you can restart it at any time by going to Flatsome » Setup Wizard from your dashboard.)

The settings even include the option to automatically create your own child theme , so that any changes you make will be saved in case of a theme update.
The installation wizard asks you to install several plugins. These are:
Contact Form 7 (mandatory)
Nextend Facebook Connect (required)
Nextend Google Connect (required)
Regenerate thumbnails (mandatory)
Unlimited Sidebars Woosidebars (required)
WooCommerce
YITH WooCommerce Wishlist (required)
You can skip the step and choose which ones you want to install later from your dashboard. The theme will still work without them, so feel free to use a better alternative if you want (like the easier-to-use WPForms instead of Contact Form 7 ).
The installation wizard will then ask you about creating demo content. If you’re installing the theme on a new site, this could be a useful way to set up your site like the Flatsome theme demo. You can then edit and customize the content to your liking. But if you’re using an existing site, you’ll probably want to skip this step. (Note that if you haven’t installed all the “required” plugins, some of the demo content may not work.)
Next, you can upload your logo (any size - it will be scaled down or up to fit the header) and choose a preset layout.
