Blocksy’s Integration With Toolset Lets You Build Custom, Dynamic Websites

Blocksy always played nicely with custom post types defined by the user. When you declare a custom post type, Blocksy automatically detects it. It generates options for editing the single post and its archives automatically, providing:

• Changing the archives look and feel from the Customizer
• Changing the single post layout and styling both from the Customizer (globally) and the Gutenberg metabox (locally per post)

That being said, we felt like there is space for even more flexibility in certain cases, Toolset being the definite tool (pun intended) to fill this gap. We are excited to announce the full integration between Blocksy and Toolset – a perfect match for those looking to build advanced, custom sites without coding and using the Gutenberg editor.

What exactly does integration mean for you?

• If you’ve been using Blocksy and Toolset, you’ll be happy to hear that you can now control Blocksy design and layout options from within Toolset’s Content Templates and Archive pages – letting you truly customize your website.
• If you’re new to Toolset, then it means you can start building custom, dynamic websites from scratch, without needing to code or use another third party page builder. 
• When creating or editing any Toolset Content Templates or WordPress Archives for standard or custom post types, you can now conveniently access Blocksy’s theme settings from within the block editor. These settings let you choose which theme options you’d like to use for each post type, and includes options like ‘Featured Image’, ‘Pagination’, ‘Sidebar’, ‘Related Posts’ and more.

Blocky and Toolset – A Perfect Fit

We’re excited to be working with the Toolset team because it’s a natural fit for Blocksy clients.

What is Toolset

• Toolset helps you build custom, dynamic websites without needing any programming knowledge – all within the Gutenberg editor. It includes everything you need to create and customize:
  • Custom Post Types, Custom Fields, Content Templates for single-posts, and WordPress Archives
  • Custom Lists of Posts and Custom Searches
  • Front-end forms, Maps, and Access control for content (users, editors, etc.)
• Comes with a library of dynamic blocks 
• Toolset works with speed in mind, and with the number of features available, you don’t need a million plugins to do everything.
  • You won’t need to worry about your site performance. 

Why it is such a powerful partnership:

1. Blocksy and Toolset’s integration means a seamless design and customization experience for you because everything is ready to use in Gutenberg. 
2. Making a truly custom and professional-looking website requires a lot of functionality. It can be hard to manage this and keep your website fast if you use too many plugins – Toolset offers many features and is built for performance, just like Blocksy.
3. We work with the Toolset team to guarantee ongoing compatibility and support for our clients. So you can install updates safely without worrying they might break anything.
