Overall, a good experience.
However, an issue with the image API arose on a client’s site.
the support team told me that the API had changed, but the documentation had not yet been updated.
This is very disappointing, given that I’m now using a paid product (version 3.2.7 at the time of this review).

I pay for the agency level of this plugin. The customer service is incredible. I’ve been really happy with the plugin and the service.

I’ve been using Types for a bit now and have had some time to really test out the plugin across a number of scenarios. This thing is _powerful_ and does a TON of things that you’d ordinarily have to do with WP Query, but without all of the messy PHP.
It helps speed up your workflow so you don’t have to code from scratch every time, and their support is really helpful and friendly if you ever run across a problem. They really do their best to try to help their customers.
Overall, a great experience with the OnTheGo team and all of their plugins, Toolset and WPML.

as template developer, this plugin gave me the ability to create as many custom post types and custom taxonomies, custom fields, with developer’s mind, I feel very comfortable using it more than other plugins.
The only enhancement I want to see, is the ability to create custom post types on custom tables, also some default hooks are disabled for custom post types, if it can be optional disable or enable, it would be very nice.
Thanks a lot

Great Plugin. I had issues with custom post types as I am not able to write any Code. With this Plugin everything works great.
Support is perfect and quick!!

I have been using Toolset since 2012 and I am continually amazed at how helpful, knowledgable, patient and downright invaluable their tech support staff is. I’m a creative person by training and sometimes coding gets lost on my brain. I am so thankful that I can implement my ideas with WordPress knowing that I have the Toolset Tech Support Team backing me up when I get in over my head trying to push the limits of their software and WordPress.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

To start off, I bought the Agency package of toolset. I have all the bells and whistles, and when I started using it, I thought it was the best plugin for wordpress. After setting up a client with a toolset website, and leaving it to be, it’s been nothing but problems.
After updates of toolset & elementor, the incredible amount of conflicts occurred.(particularly toolset views) My current solution is to PATCH the randomly occurring issues caused by Toolset while I completely build a new custom-coded system from the ground up. That’s the only way I will not be completely married to this website for the rest of my life.
unfortunately, I will not be using this plugin again.
Very sad.

The Toolset suite of plugins save a huge amount of time, even if you do know a bit of PHP. If you don’t, you can do an amazing amount of customized stuff so your site doesn’t look like a WordPress “cookie-cutter” site like so many others – almost always without any programming. But, if you do have a need for an uncommon this or that, Toolset Support is fantastic, and if it’s at all possible in WordPress, they will show you what to do.
I’ve been working with the Toolset plugins (formerly known as Types/Views) for over four years and I am thrilled with how much time it has saved me, and how much help their Support team has been. Kudos!

I started by using the free plugin, but upgraded to the paid version in order to do much more. It is an extremely powerful plugin. I’m unsure of how it works as a standalone free plugin anymore, because I do have the paid version, but it has dramatically increased the things I’m able to do with wordpress.

Bravi e basta. Nonostante avessi avuto qualche problema con il tema, sono stati molto celeri a intervenire e a trovare una soluzione. I plugin funzionano benissimo. Ringrazio ancora tutto lo staff. Plugin consigliassimo ! (NB: come ogni cosa bisogna sempre dedicare del tempo per studiare)

Plugin went from free to paid just like that and blocked all updates! No matter what “explanation” the authors post, this was a case of bait and switch. It should never have been offered for free if this was your plan all along!

Forse è a pagamento o altro ma dopo averlo installato non vedevo nulla per accedere alle varie funzionalità.

Toolset made the only difference between me having a successful website and not.
Five years ago I spent $50,000 developing a Drupal website to be able to organize and display information on a new site. My primary WordPress website had gotten to be too much to handle. The new expensive website was never completed, the project stalled, and I almost went out of business.
And I still didn’t have a website that served my customers how I needed.
That’s all changed thanks to Toolset. For $59 I bought Toolset, which allows me to create any content and assign any custom fields. All of a sudden, I’m storing and displaying videos, knitting patterns, testimonials, FAQs, products — EVERYTHING that a real business website entails – and I’m doing it on my own, for no money. It makes sense, I control it myself, and I manage the layout for each content in ONE place.
I used to have WordPress pages filled with 12,000 words or more – long classes and tutorials filled with formatting, navigation, AND information, all in HTML, all in ONE field: the Content field. It got to be too much. Now with Toolset each piece of information has its own home, and I control the display in one place. Before when I needed to change information, I had to change it on every page. Sign-up form not working? I had to fix it on each of 17 different pages. Policy change about my product? I had to change it on each of 27 different product pages. Not to mention the fact that the long pages would crash people’s iPad browsers.
Success (and happiness) has become available to me – just a regular person, knowing NO code – only because of Toolset. I can’t praise this company highly enough, although I will try.
Also – it’s OBVIOUS that the people who designed this tool use it day after day. Everywhere you need information, help – there is a little link helping you. Nothing is left out for the user who is learning to use Toolset by jumping in and doing AND the customer support is fast and accurate and solves everything I couldn’t figure out on my own.
Thank you for saving my sanity, my website, and my business.
Now a word about their support: Toolset’s technical support is the best I have ever encountered. Their team has worked tirelessly with me to help me use the tool to do stuff I couldn’t do on my own. They’ve even had video chat meetings with me to advise me as to the best way to set up my site.
I feel like I have a private support team helping me create the site of my dreams. All for free with the purchase of the plugin!
At $59, this tool is incredibly cheap for the amount of value it provides.
I can’t wait to create other sites with Toolset, and I won’t blink about spending an extra $63 to be able to use it on infinite sites. For anyone who’s tried to develop a custom WordPress website and doesn’t know php code and can’t afford a professional developer at $200 an hour (or who maybe almost went broke going that route), this tool is an absolute steal.
I can’t believe the other reviews trashing this tool. I’ve paid much more for plugins that have only done one thing, and not very well. This plugin is the foundation of my whole site, comes with an incredibly talented support team, and costs pocket change.

THIS PLUGIN IS NOT FREE! If you want updates for this plugin for the usual obvious reasons you will be forced to buy this plugin! The authors claim “We will keep supporting the free version of Types with security and compatibility updates and bug fixes through 2018.” but if you run the plugin you can already see that it’s not installing the latest updates anymore.

This plugin switched to a paid only model without any warning. There are now loads of notifications that can’t be dismissed on all of my client’s sites, and the only way for me to get rid of them is to do serious development on each site, or pay for a subscription.
This is unacceptable.

I really love Toolset and i’ll explain why.
First off all, i know business with internet since 15 years, i have managed some websites, 2 compagnies with great developpers. I am not too bad with development, but my work is webmarketing and try make websites usefull.
So after lot of thinking, i can said that when you create a website with WordPress, you have two way :
– You need a simple site, and even if you are not developper and/or designer you can find template and it will be great. But if you grow up, i am sure you will be stuck and you will need to make some code to make your website usefull for yours visitors.
– You need a complexe website, and even if you find perfect template, i am 100% sure you will be stuck very soon. And you will have to pay developer. The cost is always hight, and the website is never finish because internet change grow up always. But after you pay development it will be not enough, you probably have to pay marketing. So the cost will be very hight.
Toolset is the best solution, because, yoiu don’t need to pay best developeurs to make your website and create that Toolset have already create in a very good way.
For me, if your website is created with Toolset you have a very important advantage on your concurents.
Thanks Toolset, you make me happy all days.
Sometimes, when i imagine you stop the tool i am bit worried

Other plugin authors have a free and paid version – fine. Don’t offer the free version for years and then stop supporting it and require people to pay. That’s low. Remove from www.ads-software.com!

Had initial issues getting login & API credentials for upgraded version, but they were finally able to resolve the problem.
It’s a very powerful system, and can be a little overwhelming, but it DOES have lots of options that others can’t offer for the same pricing. Mostly you’d have to piece together a group of different (paid) plugins, like ACF pro ($100), an expensive Pro forms plugin ($200), a search and filter plugin ($100), and possibly several other paid plugins to get everything you can get with Toolset.
I did appreciate being able to test it out with the FREE version before upgrading, so I really hope the developer will continue to support some sort of free version so people can test with a lite version before purchasing.

The publisher is removing the free option at the end of 2018, and the lifetime subscription has been removed so you need to pay yearly. I don’t charge my friends for there websites so will have to move away from this

The worst you can expect from a plugin developer is to suddenly start charging for a free plugin. I’m fine paying for extra functionalities, but if you started offering a plugin for free, the least you can do is to keep your word. Note that there’s a much better, more popular option out there…

I’ve been using Toolset since the pre-release as a beta tester. Big props to the creators and developers of these plugins. They realized great products demand exceptional customer support. ??
]]>Rating: 1 star
The developers seem to have confused the term ‘update’ with ‘upgrade’.
Currently, the plugin will prevent non-subscribed websites from updating it, while it is active. To get around this issue, you’ll need to deactivate the plugin, update it, then activate it again.
Small updates within the same major version number, i.e. 2.x to 2.3.2, should not cause any dramas, but as with any sort of updates, backups are always recommended.
We have now created our own CPT and taxonomy registering framework, and we’re in the process of migrating our clients away from Toolset Types where possible.

due to a change in the companies direction. they appear to be trying to use this as an immediate way to upsell to paid version. we only used it for small things. if you install the free version it will show as needing to be upgraded all the time. that defeats the purpose of the upgrade area in the dashboard. not recommended

Types is a wonderful and amazing plugin, which we’ve been happily using for years, but it is wrong on so many levels to force users to purchase an annual subscription to the entire Toolset Suite in order to upgrade from Types 2.3 to Toolset 3.0, which by the way you are constantly nagged to do. Sorry, but most of the Toolset Suite is not needed nor helpful to majority of users. It’s total overkill. This is the wrong direction. Chinese menu of paid functionality is great, the way it was. Hell, you can even add a Pro version of Types and charge for that. Having to order the entire menu in order to get one dish, however, is a losing proposition, a deal killer, and we will no longer be able to use Types on new sites as a result and will now need to deprecate it for a different solution on legacy sites. Major mistake in direction.

Great Plugin (been using it for years) but unfortunately at the end of the year this plugin will become part of their subscription package. I would avoid using this on any new projects if you want support in 2019. Due to this change I will be looking for an alternative… Any suggestions?
]]>Rating: 3 stars
It was a great free plugin, very useful to speed up the development process.
Too bad it will become a paid only solution included in a bigger bundle of products which I don’t need.
As an alternative you can use the excellent Custom Post Type UI by WebDevStudios:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
Or if you know some php you could use Generate WP website:
https://generatewp.com/

Been using it for years, and now the plugin just sits in a perpetual “needs updated” state unless I go purchase the premium version for $69
Will be finding another plugin. People don’t come to the repo for this bait-and-switch bull.
