Toolset 1.7 is here! This major release centers on Full Site Editing compatibility for Toolset Views and Blocks. Content Templates, Dynamic Sources, View loops, and more now work correctly inside block-based themes, the Site Editor, and Query Loop blocks. This is a complete rewrite of the rendering pipeline, not a surface fix.
Full Site Editing Support for Toolset Views and Blocks
Until now, Toolset Views and Blocks haven’t natively supported Full Site Editing. The previous architecture of how Toolset rendered content simply wasn’t compatible with how FSE themes, the Site Editor, and archive templates work. Rather than patch around it, we rewrote the rendering pipeline from the core. FSE is now fully supported across Toolset Views and Blocks.
Here’s what that means in practice:
Content Templates in Block-Based Themes
Content Templates now render correctly in block-based themes like Twenty Twenty-Five.
Single post displayed using a Content Template on a site running the Twenty Twenty-Five Theme (FSE)
Fields and Text Block in the Site Editor
The TinyMCE toolbar, shortcode preview, and Query Loop context all now work correctly inside the Site Editor.
Toolset “Fields and Text” block now works in WordPress Site Editor (Full Site Editing)
Single Field and Dynamic Sources in FSE Archive and Single Templates
Single Field and Dynamic Sources blocks now correctly resolve post context when used inside FSE archives and single post templates.
Single Field and Dynamic Sources blocks now work correctly inside FSE archives and templates
Views Loops in FSE Templates
Views loops now also render correctly in FSE templates.
Toolset Views now display correctly inside Full Site Editing templates
Image Placeholders in FSE Templates
%%tb-image-alt-text%% and %%tb-image-wp-image-class%% now resolve correctly inside FSE templates.
Block CSS in Block Themes
Block styles now load in the correct order in block themes, preventing styles from outputting before the page document begins.
CodeMirror Crash in the Block Editor Is Now Fixed
The initialization crash affecting CodeMirror in the block editor under React 18 StrictMode is resolved.
Maps: Marker Icon Hover Now Working
A long-standing issue with Google Maps marker hover states is fixed in Toolset Maps 2.2.2. Marker icons now change correctly on hover, and focus-on-marker link hover also triggers the icon change as expected.
Other Fixes in This Release
Toolset Views / Blocks
Filter inputs now use unique IDs, preventing duplicate ID issues when the same View appears multiple times on a page (accessibility fix)
WPML button block links now translate as URLs rather than plain text
FSE archive pages: dynamic shortcodes no longer resolve prematurely in archive templates; Showcases archive repeat issue fixed
WPML taxonomy archive: View results now correctly filter by current WPML language
Toolset Types
500 console error when selecting certain Toolset field groups to translate: fixed
BeaverBuilder autoSuggest fields correctly excluded from the shortcode button wrapper
Fixed a gateway timeout issue triggered when emptying the pages trash on sites using Toolset post types
Toolset Forms
Fixed a fatal error during heartbeat autosave on PHP 8+ that could also cause a crash when deleting posts
Toolset Common
Select2 upgraded to 4.0.10 (security fix)
Attachments bug fix
Toolset Access, Layouts
Internal dependency updates (Select2 upgrade)

Hopefully this is a good solid fix for those using the block based offerings from Toolset. I did notice the issues with the few sites where I used these on sites built several years ago. Hopefully this also the end of that hiatus we experienced several years ago too.
Some other insights. Toolset documentation could do with a clean up, outside all the blocks based coverage. There are a lot of gems mixed into the labyrinth that we must navigate to source solutions to implement functionality programatically in builders like Bricks. My go to, for example, is the php to display child post of à related parent on the parent instance. There are many others too.
And, it would be great to see some polish where Toolset integrates well with Etch. We are not talking complex UI here, just programatically stuff to fit with the back to basics grass roots that integrated development environments that tools like Etch are offering to power users.
I see the full potential of Toolset but always find that is hiding its light under a bushel, especially when it comes to the documentation. A series of sample showcases of using snippets of code in Bricks would do a lot to present the magic.
Hi Stephen! Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to add these insightful observations. I understand what you mean and will share all of this with the management and development.
Finally it’s here … thank you. Indeed we agree and rephrase Stevens comment which is “I see the full potential of Toolset but always find that is hiding its light under a bushel, especially when it comes to the documentation.”
Hopefully this urgent and necessary update will not be delayed any longer and will be released soon.
Thanks Dario,
