2. Choose an appropriate export profile from the list. In Divine Free and Divine Elemente (formerly Divine Personal) only one export profile is available – ‘WordPress’.
3. Fill in ‘Host : Port’ filed. Type in server address that you want to export to. And you can type in server IP address (e.g. 127.0.0.1) or DNS name (e.g. www.YourFtpServer.com).
4. Fill in ‘Remote theme directory’ field. Type in the whole path to the catalogue on the server where your theme will be located. (E.g. ‘/htdocs/www/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/’).
5. Fill in ‘Login’ and ‘Password’ fields. Here you insert account data for authorization on your FTP server.
6. Press ‘Add’ button. After everything is set, your own export account is created. Now you can use it for the theme export by choosing it from the dropdown list ‘Publish To’.

You may also edit existing profiles. To do that, you simply need to pick out the necessary profile and make changes. After that, press ‘Apply’, and all changes will be saved. To rename or delete account, press RMB on the profile you need and choose necessary action in the menu.

Proxy Server Usage

In case you use proxy server, you need to specify the parameters on ‘Connection’ page.

Here you’re suggested to fill in the following data:

1. ‘Host : Port’. Type in your Proxy server address. And you can type in server IP address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:21) or DNS name (e.g. www.YourFtpServer.com:21)
2. ‘Login’ and ‘Password’. Here you insert account data for authorization on your Proxy server.

To check the accuracy of the data inserted, you need to press ‘Test connection’ button on ‘Accounts’ page; meanwhile, authorization attempt is performed using parameters that you set. In case the test is successful, ‘Test Successful’ message will pop up, otherwise, error message will appear.
