Toolset Framework Installer / Reference sites 3.1.17

Toolset Framework Installer / Reference sites delivers fully working reference designs for Types and Views to your local WordPress test site. Instead of building layouts and data-driven templates from scratch, you can download a reference site and use it as a practical starting point for client work. The reference content is customizable inside the WordPress admin using Toolset, so you can tailor fields, templates, and output to match each project.

Because each reference site requires a specific set of plugins, the installer helps you set up what’s needed in a single workflow. You can replace the sample content with your own data, validate the setup locally, and deliver polished results faster—while keeping everything editable within WordPress.

Workflow typically starts by creating a blank WordPress site, installing the Framework Installer plugin, then choosing and installing the reference site you need for your project.
