I would think both. Cold air from the room goes in the bottom and warmer air comes out the top.

Floor vents should generally face towards the center of the room to promote even air distribution and improve overall comfort. This orientation allows the warm or cool air to circulate effectively, preventing hot or cold spots. Additionally, ensuring that the vents are not obstructed by furniture or other objects can further enhance airflow and efficiency.
WHICH VENT If you're talking plumbing roof vents or soffit or ridge attic air vents; absolutely not!! I can't thing of a single vent that would be opened and closed at will.
Does not matter. Air will displace naturally when pushed into a room from the vent. Vents and ducting are laid out according to the plans of the unit. That is the only reason for top vents and bottom vents. If you are speaking of the intakes, the same principal applies.
I believe the upper vents are for A/C only. The floor vents are for the Hot air. Test your ceiling controls by moving the knob from cold to hot, you should hear the air pass from upper vents to lower vents. Providing of course you have selected REAR from the front control panel.
It is impossible to tell what the four vents are in the picture on the fireplace, as the picture is not posted with the question. You could do an online search for vents and look for a similar style.
It is generally recommended to close the lower vents in the winter to prevent cold air from entering from below. Closing the upper vents can actually help to distribute warm air more evenly throughout the room.
Check and see if your fireplace has heat vents on the sides or above the firebox, and that they are open.
Most of the big box stores like lowes and menards sell cheap fireplace vents on their websites. You can also go to fireplace-vent.fireplacecheap.us

Center console, should be just below the upper air vents.
That is the correct spelling of the plural noun "chimneys" (fireplace vents).
In summer, you typically open the upper wall vents, also known as exhaust vents, to allow warm air to escape from the indoor space. This helps facilitate better airflow and promotes cooler indoor temperatures by allowing hot air to rise and exit. Meanwhile, lower vents can remain closed to prevent the entry of hot air and maintain a comfortable environment.
To troubleshoot a gas fireplace that turns on and off intermittently, check for any blockages in the gas line, ensure the pilot light is lit and the thermocouple is functioning properly, clean the fireplace and vents, and inspect the gas valve for any issues. If problems persist, contact a professional technician for further assistance.
Gel fireplaces are ventless which makes them a lot safer than traditional fireplaes. A gel fireplace will not require it's owner to cut, stack or buy wood. Additionally, a gel fireplace does not have the drawbacks that real fireplaces have such as: ash, smoke, soot and uncontrollable temperatures. Another major advantage of a gel fireplace is that they can be installed in any location inside a home or office because they do not require chimneys or vents.
