Toolset provides integration with popular themes, allowing you to design layouts for these themes using drag-and-drop, while preserving everything that the themes offer.
The themes that are currently supported are:
Problem: Can I embed Toolset wpv-for-each shortcodes in my PHP templates to loop over repeating fields?
Solution: No, you should use the native WordPress function get_post_meta to get the values of your repeating field, then loop over those values and output the proper HTML strings. This is not a trivial task. Here's a simple example of looping over a repeating image field in PHP:
How can I choose theme settings when I create Content Templates or Layouts?
Solution
When you use Content Templates (or Layouts if you use Toolset Layouts), then each such Content Template has a settings section below the HTML editor, but only if you use an Integrate Theme as linked below.
These settings allow you to use theme settings even on custom posts, if you set this setting in the Content Template or Layout.
The issue here is that the user is using the old Toolset Twentysixteen integration plugin and his site is currently running slow.
Solution:
Unfortunately as you know the integrations are included in the plugin itself, however we no longer do a full integration such as with the header cells for the specific themes etc.
What the integration now does is for you to control your content are better.
The integration plugin that you are currently using is no longer supported so our development team wouldn't provide a patch for it.
Finally when was this slowdown noticed as this could be attributed to increased plugin use on your website, Does the slowdown still occur when you disable all the non-toolset plugins ?
Problem: I would like to use CRED to allow my site Users to upload multiple images, and associate those images with CPTs. Some of those CPTs are child posts, some are parents, some are grandparents. What is the best way to associate the images with all levels of the CPT hierarchy?
Solution: It depends on your site's requirements. There are several things to consider.
- It is easier to create custom search filters using custom fields attached to the same post type shown in the View.
- However, it is not possible to use repeating fields in child posts in the current stable version of Types. The new beta M2M features will address some of this issue.
- Taxonomies can be used to relate the images to multiple CPTs, but they must be managed by your Users.
- Galleries and Carousels in Divi Builder have limited options for filtering the results, and it is not possible to use shortcodes as filters. So Divi cannot access custom fields effectively in the Gallery or Carousel module.
- Elementor ACF Gallery modules may or may not work with Types custom fields. Types custom fields are stored in the postmeta table using the previx "wpcf-".
Problem:
Usually in WordPress the ShortCodes are wrapped in
[shortcode_here]
brakets.
I see that most of the Toolset ShortCodes as well are wrapped in them, but few use
{!{shortcode_here}!}
Why?
Solution:
The first syntax is the correct one and generated practically everywhere when you use our GUI.
The second syntax is made for compatibility with Page Builders and/or the ShortCodes you insert through the WordPress Admin bar.
The only reason we use that specific syntax in specific places is so to avoid those Page Builders to execute our ShortCodes too early.
