Hello,

With the new versions of Toolset plugins, we have a notice in the admin area that reminds us to run installer to automatically install the Toolset plugins that are needed for Toolset Starter.
That's fine for the first time but if we are not interested by this function and click on the cross to supress this message, then the message disappears but is still there if you reload the page or go to another admin page.
Would it be possible to avoid this ?
Regards

We have several new notices.

One of them is only appearing if you have a Basic Subscription and eventually could profit from another subscription.
Another one is for sites that are not registered.

But you seem to refer to the Toolset Starter Theme only.

The idea to make this message not permanently dismissible is that a user who did not run the installer probably still has to run it.

Now, if you install any Toolset Plugin that notice should be gone, as I reported this exact issue a while back.

But, it is not.
So I informed the DEV again about this issue and we will fix it ASAP.

The Toolset Starter Theme will not receive an Update to solve this issue, as it's not anymore downloadable.

We suggest to either use an Officially Supported Theme:
https://toolset.com/documentation/recommended-themes/

Or any other Theme that uses the_content() to render its functions.

If you require a fully integrated theme to use Toolset Layouts as a Template editor, I recommend to create your own Theme using this boilerplate here which I created (but we do not support it in this forum):

Hi Beda,

I've see your last answer and I'm a bit desapointed.

I'd like to better understand the Toolset strategy in terms of themes. For info, when I started with Toolset (5 years ago !), I was using your first standard theme. Then you abandonned it and tell me that Toolset starter was the right one. So, I moved all my previews sites to Toolset starter and continue to use it for new sites and now, you are telling me that you are no more using it and I have to move again to another solution !!!

I'm not happy atall with this. I want to use basic theme as I'm making by myself big part of the personalization, and Toolset Starter was a good solution for me until now.

On an other hand, no informaiton has been supplyed for this change in Toolset (no blog article have related the fact that no more theme were available in download section !).

So again, I'm more used to give Toolset (+++) for its work but here, I have to say that this is worth a (-) !!!

Let me know
Regards
Pat

Let me explain.

Toolset was never "Theme Oriented" in the sense of entering the Theme Market or producing Themes.

The focus of Toolset is the Plugins with which you can add functionality to any theme.

The solution that Toolset provides is not a Theme, but a set of Plugins, which allow you to massively customize the WordPress install and the Front End.

Now, this Theme (Toolset Starter) was a good theme for showing how to use Toolset Layouts, mainly.
It integrated with it out of the Box, back in time when you still needed to manually integrate Toolset Layouts.

Nowadays it is still possible to integrate Toolset Layouts in a Theme so to design the entire Template, but it is not the recommended way.

Instead, usually, you want your Theme to deliver the outside design like header, footer and sidebars, and then style the content with a Page Builder or similar (like Toolset Layouts).

Toolset Layouts nowadays features all these things out of the box in any theme that uses the_content().
The Toolset Starter theme, for example, does not work with this new feature!

Further development is done in Gutenberg, both on side of WordPress for the core code, and our end to adapt for the coming features, made this theme as well obsolete and not usable anymore, as it is designed and intended for one only purpose:
- you have to use Toolset Plugins with it, and the best results are with Toolset Layouts.

It is an starter theme and not subject to continued development, but used to start an own theme, which can be built with/on top of it.

If you require a copy of it I can send it, but it's the same version as was downloadable until now.

The theme will not receive any development - this is why I recommend to evaluate if you need future features like Gutenberg and Toolset Content Layouts, or not.
If not you should be able to proceed with the current theme, but keep in mind that it will not receive active development.

The Theme I shared, is my own theme.
It is so simple, it can almost not break.

The Code is very well documented, allowing you to programmatically integrate any theme if you want.

But the final recommendation is to stick with a well supported and active Theme, from a Theme house, not a Plugin House.

I shared the recommended themes earlier.

Any theme will work, but those have specific forms of integration.

I hope I could be of any help.
