In my Toolset account page->Download->Toolset plugins tab, It has Toolset types and Toolset Blocks. In Legacy plugins tab it has Toolset Views and ToolSet Layouts. And They are under the label "Toolset plugins for older sites, created with shortcodes and Layouts".
1. Does it mean that it is not supposed to be used if my website is running the latest WordPress? Before I purchase Toolset I tried your demo of cooking recipe site, it has View under Toolset menu in wp admin page.
2. If View isn't supposed to be used in newly built website, How can I create a custom type archive without using view? Base on your video tutorial, it uses view under the "WordPress Archive Loop" block in archive page.
3. This question doesn't relate to the above question. In custom type archive page, it can add multiple search field. Can these search fields, search button and reset button placed in a row? If yes, please guide me how to do it. Currently I only can place one element in a row.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I will answer first two question with this ticket and for the third question I will split the ticket.

1. Does it mean that it is not supposed to be used if my website is running the latest WordPress? Before I purchase Toolset I tried your demo of cooking recipe site, it has View under Toolset menu in wp admin page.
===>
The this is that Toolset Blocks and Toolset views both plugins are 1:1 copy of each other. Just names are different and we already announced this with our blog post that we are going to change the Toolset Views to Toolset Blocks.

2. If View isn't supposed to be used in newly built website, How can I create a custom type archive without using view? Base on your video tutorial, it uses view under the "WordPress Archive Loop" block in archive page.

If you still want to use views while Toolset blocks installed, please check the following blog post.

Go to Toolset-> Settings-> General tab:
- in section "Editing experience", enable option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build".
- https://toolset.com/2019/12/using-toolset-blocks-on-existing-toolset-sites/

However, If you want to create archive using Toolset blocks its also possible - please refer to the section "Designing Archives with Blocks" with the following link:

Currently, I have installed Toolset Type.zip and blocks.zip. If they provide the same function do I need to delete one of them?

If it needs, here is the plug-ins in my list, I don't know which one should I delete. Toolset Blocks, Toolset Framework Installer, Toolset Layouts, Toolset Module Manager, Toolset Types.

Where is another ticket for question 3?

You need to keep both Toolset Types and Toolset Blocks. You can either install Toolset Blocks or Toolset Views. As you installed Blocks, you do not need to install now Toolset Views.

If it needs, here is the plug-ins in my list, I don't know which one should I delete. Toolset Blocks, Toolset Framework Installer, Toolset Layouts, Toolset Module Manager, Toolset Types.

Ok. you can go with this setup. However, I do not know why you install the Toolset Layouts as Layouts plugin is in maintenance mode only. You should use the Toolset blocks to build you content template.

Here is the split ticket for question #3:

You can create Post types, taxonomies, custom fields using Types plugin and content template, views, archive using Toolset Block/Views plugin.

Each plugin role is different. For example, if you want to create maps, you should install and activate Toolset maps plugin and if you want to create forms for creating and editing content from frotnend, you should install and activate Toolset Forms plugin.

Basically, its on you, what plugin you want to use.

#1651437

No, What I want to ask is that you mentioned "Types" and "Blocks" are doing the same thing. I am worrying if 2 plugin installed, will it cause compatible issue or any other issue? That's why I am wondering whether I need to uninstall some of plug-in.

from you latest answer, "Blocks" is same with "views", not "blocks" and "types". please let me know whether my understand correctly.
