Toolset 1.6.20 is here with powerful behind-the-scenes improvements that make your multilingual site load faster and your workflows feel smoother than ever.

Up to 70% Faster Page Loading Times for Multilingual Sites

If you’re using Toolset and WPML together, this update brings a dramatic performance improvement.

Until now, Toolset Types re-registered default labels for post types and taxonomies on every page load—a background process that triggered WPML’s string registration logic and slowed down loading times. 

Now, this registration runs only once per plugin update, instead of every time someone visits a page.

The result?
In our tests, page load times dropped by 50–70% on multilingual sites.

You won’t see a new screen or setting, but you’ll definitely feel the difference. Your translated pages will load significantly faster, and your entire site will feel more responsive.

Toolset Table Views Fully Compatible with WordPress 6.8

Toolset Views 3.6.20 and Toolset Blocks 1.6.20 restore compatibility with WordPress 6.8 by fixing a bug that broke Views using the Table loop layout style. 

If you created a View and selected the Table layout, the page may have shown an error like: “Your site doesn’t include support for the toolset-views/table-column block.”

This update restores the missing block so your Views work and display table formats as expected again.

This fix came later than usual, and we appreciate your patience. We always aim to have Toolset plugins fully compatible ahead of WordPress releases. This was an exception, and we’ve already taken steps to improve our processes so Toolset stays in sync with future WordPress releases.

Improved Post Previews and Pagination in Toolset Access

Toolset Access 2.9.4 includes two fixes that improve behavior for WPML-powered sites:

  • Authors can now preview drafts in multilingual setups

Previously, if you controlled a post type with Toolset Access and used WPML to manage access capabilities for translations, users with any role other than Administrator couldn’t preview drafts.

This update introduces a safe check that allows authors to preview their own unpublished drafts on the front-end.

  • Paginated blog pages now work in all languages

Toolset Access 2.9.4 improves compatibility with WPML by allowing paginated blog archives in secondary languages to load correctly—even when the blog uses a translated static page and Toolset Access manages permissions.

Now, translated blog pages retain their pagination URLs (e.g. /it/blog/page/2) and display as expected for all permitted users.
