Hello,
I recently started a new website and I am using the new wordpress Gutenberg blocks. I notice that in the dashboard it does not display the plugin view in there. does it still usable or not? how do I use it to create views.
DO I have to have a content template still?
I haven't found much information about it and it is confusing.
Thanks
Miller
Hi Miller,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
The WordPress's new Gutenberg blocks, replace its old visual content builder, but it doesn't replace Toolset's Views plugin.
To create the lists of contents, you'll still need the post and archive Views:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/create-and-display-custom-lists-of-content/
Likewise, if you'd like to assign the content templates for specific posts/pages or a whole post type, you can still assign Toolset's content templates and then design them using the content builder of your choice, including the Gutenberg blocks.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/view-templates/
While editing a Toolset content template, you'll see a "Block Editor" button, which can be used to edit it using the Gutenberg blocks.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

Thanks Waqar,
I am still trying to absorb the change, and I could very well do this website in the classic mode, however I want to be ready to embark along this total redo of wordpress Gutenberg Blocks, and on the same token use Toolset which for me is one of the most powerful platform/tool for website building.
As I understand what you said, all original functions still operate the same. but for me it does not make sense. I read the material but somehow I am still in doubt.
When I create a content template and click continue with block editor, it open a page. that page is a page or will be just the content template creation, and from there, I need to create a real page and select the content that come from that "sort of page" from the content template?
This is where I get lost, it feels when I click the button blocks a page is create. but in fact that is only a back end step for the creation of the page? Do I have to create a sigle content template, then a view using the view plugin, then on the page I want to display that view I shold find the view I creeated then select it to display on the page? Is that the process?
Again I really appreciate your time in this.
Thanks
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
