support Going Forward

Hi Tony,

I have not updated my themes because much nicer feature-rich themes are out there nowadays.
Another reason is the new block/text editor in core and the future changes of WordPress in general. I don’t know how WordPress is evolving in the future.

Current situation: my themes do not support the new block/text editor in dashboard (the so called editor styles). In frontend no issues so far..

Currently the only thing I’m a bit concerned about is the page/post template feature of my theme (you can select a full width page/post template). As far as I know the new recommended location for this setting is the Customizer.

For now there are no other (known) issues with my themes. But if you have find any other issues (including CSS) please let me know.

Please note: with no other theme there’s an absolute certainty it will be supported for many years to come.

Hi Guido

I use siteorigin as a page editor and so far no problems works nice ??
You say there are richer themes out there…I use many themes and ‘Shipyard” is the easiest to work with and the I have had no problems. The layout is straight forward not like other themes where you have to learn their CMS.

I was hoping that if I ever have a problem with one of my clients sites I could contact you via this forum and maybe you could help out in some way.
My sites are simple. I don’t get in to the back end. I use to do all my work with HTML5 and CSS3 Bbut clients have come to me with WordPress sites to update etc so I learned WP

One site I used the theme on is teridouglas.net another is didweordidntwe.com
and I have many others. Your theme is “the BEST”

Thanks for your reply and looking forward to hear from you soon.

Best

Hi Tony,

Both sites look nice, simple and clean ??

FYI, I use the same clean structure and design for all my themes, the code looks quite similar.

About helping you out, currently I’m still giving support via the forums so that won’t be a problem for now. But I cannot guarantee this will be the case for years to come.

I might gonna remove my themes from the repository someday, but this theme support forum will always stay online.
