Made a difficult decision. Canvas will no longer be sold from today. WordPress continues to grow, and canvas is no longer a good option for using the latest version of WordPress’s site builder. We don’t want to recommend topics that won’t be available to you in the future. We will continue to provide support for active subscriptions and provide lifelong subscription support from today. We have a comprehensive plan for all canvas customers. We will follow this path with you, rather than simply reducing the theme. I know this is a great change for you, but I believe your website will achieve better success in the future. Please read more about how we got there and how we can help us move forward.
The theme will change. In February 2010, we launched canvas, one of the first themes created using wooframework, and became one of the most popular themes. Canvas innovates the concept of theme framework, develops themes, and helps builders create wonderful websites. In personal blogs, political websites, woocommerce record stores integrating thousands of products and other places, we have seen the use of canvas to create a wonderful experience. The WordPress themed world will experience a new wave of innovation in the next two years. With the emergence of page builder and various multi-functional themes, more and more people look forward to custom tools that are easy to use in word press. The current work of WordPress core editor and custom program will develop the construction and use method of theme, and Gutenberg plug-in will fundamentally change the generation method of theme and content in WordPress.
Canvas is not made to keep up with changes. Although it is still in its infancy, we firmly believe that Gutenberg is the future. We decided to invest resources in preparing products to provide the best experience. Unfortunately, canvas is not included here. When we first joined mothemes in 2009, we created a new theme framework called \
At that time, it was a great solution. But over time, we continue to add functionality to the theme. This increases the complexity of the code and ultimately makes it more difficult for canvas to evolve with changes such as custom programs and the Gutenberg project. This will take us to canvas 6. Male canvas 5 we repeated canvas6 twice. One is the alpha test with selected groups of existing canvas customers. Thankfully, this feedback helped us realize that we built what our customers didn’t want. Then, our intention is to continue working on canvas and find the best solution for the direction that canvas points to.
Therefore, we went back to the drawing board again and conducted an extensive investigation on how to match canvas with custom programs, and how to activate and set themes. In this process, we found that the heritage of wooframework, canvas theme options and the overall complexity of the theme make canvas lag behind similar themes in the ecosystem. This includes another major theme storefront, which is built on the theme of underscore starter,
This is a very popular choice. Although we are proud, it is no longer the best way to ensure success.
We’ll help you understand how to change the theme. We firmly believe that this is the stage to help build a better site and better experience on the web. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the happiness engineer.
