NB: Please, note that we need this procedure to protect your product from illegal actions.

IV. Delivery E-mail: Flash Moto template

After you have activated your account you can check another email under “Template Delivery
Service” with the download links to your template. Then download it and save it to your computer.

V. Uploading a Flash Moto template to a web hosting

Please, unzip the downloaded zip file to your hard drive and find the folder called “site_flash” this is
what you should upload to your FTP server.

When using FTP software please, make sure that you have set an AUTO mode for the file transfer of
you FTP client and don’t change the file names (i.e. do not convert the file names to lowercase).
You can upload your Flash Moto template to a remote server in a usual way. There is no need to
perform any additional adjustments after you have uploaded your template to a server. However,
please make sure that your server configuration fully meets the software requirements available on
the preview page of the Flash CMS template. After uploading your files you can open your template
on a server.

Then go to your website and see the results. In order to access the admin panel please, add “/admin”
to your site’s URL (example): http://mysitename.com/admin

Please, make sure that your server should meet the requirements of Flash Moto as only in case of
full compatibility the Flash Moto template will work properly. In case your server does not meet the
requirements provided on the template preview you may see the list of possible errors. Please, see
the screenshot below:

It shows you the errors to fix in order to work correctly in the control panel.
If you do not see this screen – everything is correct and we can continue.

VI. Control Panel (cPanel) set up

  • Choose the cPanel language
    (for now only English is available, more languages will be available soon);
  • Agree the Terms of Use;
  • Enter your cPanel login and password details (in case you forget your password please,
    submit your email address to get your password emailed to you):

additional efforts from your side. That is why simplicity in setting up a Flash CMS template is one
of the key advantages of this product.

  1. Obviously, the best CMS system designed for the flash animated websites… You can manage EVERYTHING though the admin panel only!! Do not miss a chance to try its performance on the Flash CMS live demo. Respect!

  2. MotoCMS is really climbing up the ranks in popularity. I had first heard about it a few months ago, and now it’s being sponsored by Template Monster!

  3. Since it’s introduction from TM last week we’ve added the Flash CMS as a new option for do it yourself websites, website replacements. So far every single project quoted has been sold within minutes of the demo. Amazing controls and impressive has made this one of the best options for clients looking for a professional website with admin control and not a lot of security updates like so many other CMS sites.

    Bravo!!!
