Here are the highlights for Toolset plugins, besides the compatibility with WordPress 4.7.

  • Support all custom post types in Toolset Dashboard.
  • types_render_shortcode() function and {{types}} shortcode now allows to use “id” attribute for $parent-post selection.
  • A new ‘examples’ folder was added to Types, showing how to customize PHP templates to display custom post types, taxonomy and fields (when not using the full Toolset package).

Views 2.2.2

Download and update

As always, you will receive these updates automatically to your sites if you registered them. You can always download updates manually from your Toolset account.

It’s a good idea to back up your sites before updating WordPress, plugins or the theme.

  1. Hi Amir,
    Thanks for the update. I am waiting for the demo schedule related with theme development and distribution with toolset. Have not received any update on that. Any update on that?

    • We’re doing a round of demos this week. The response was overwhelming, so it’s taking us a little more time. Early next week, I’m going to write a detailed post for everyone about how this works with a video demo. If after this you want to have a call, I’ll be very happy to arrange it.

  2. Hi Amir,
    any update on Layout 1.9 beta?
    It’s already been 20 days since you said it would be added to the downloads section in a week…

    I’m checking the download section every day 🙁

    Thanks
    Carlo

    • You’re absolutely right. I promised an update.

      We need around 2 more weeks to complete the development of Layouts 1.9. This also includes updating all the different integration plugins that we’ve created for different themes. Then, we’ll need another week for testing before we release Layouts 1.9 as “production”.

      There are also Xmas and New Year soon.

      So, we’re going to release a good (but not fully tested) version of Layouts 1.9 before Xmas and then the production version right after New Year. This way, we don’t leave you with a very major new release and no support staff.

      You don’t need to refresh the Downloads page to discover Layouts 1.9. I’ll write a detailed blog post about it and send an email newsletter to all Toolset clients.

      Sounds fair?

    • Yes. It’s around 3 months to develop and then some testing. We need to complete Layouts 1.9 with all the new features in it before we’re fully back to Types 2.3 and post relationship.

      • Amir this is an off topic question. But I noticed that I get an email when there is a reply in your comments section. May I ask you which plugin you use to send out email when there is a new reply? I am looking for a lightweight solution for my comments.

        • This is our own custom code and not coming from a plugin. We hook to when a new comment is created, check if it’s an admin or editor and a reply to another comment. If so, we send an email to the person who left the original comment.
