Hey there!
Starter Templates just got an update to version 3.5.5, and we’ve significantly improved our Template Kit Library. Here’s some of the stuff we worked on.
Template Kit Library – Looks Better!
We made the Template Kit library easier to use and prettier to look at. We want things to be smooth for you.
Download Images Easily
Now, when you’re setting up the Template Kit library, you can download chosen images straight to your media. Simple!
Simplified AI Options
The Disable AI option in the Template Kit library now works just like the Manage AI feature in Spectra. We’re keeping it easy to understand.
Update on the Quick Non-Adaptive mode
Switching to non-adaptive mode has become simpler. Just update the Disable AI option based on your choice in the Template Kit library.
Fixed Non-Adaptive mode
If the non-adaptive mode wasn’t sticking after a page reload, don’t worry – we fixed it. Now, it works as it should.
Upgrade to Starter Templates 3.5.5 for an even simpler time in the Template Kit library.
We’re here to keep things easy for you! Reach out to us if you face any issues.
Cheers,
Team Starter Templates
Starter Templates version 3.5.4 has been released with the following bug fix:
Fix
We’ve added non-adaptive mode option in the template library. Now, if you don’t want to inherit the styles from theme, you can enable the ‘Non-Adaptive Mode’.
What is Adaptive Mode and Non-Adaptive Mode?
Our templates are designed to seamlessly integrate with your website. They adjust to match your website’s existing design elements.
For example, on your website, the H1 tag might have specific properties like:
– Font size: 30 pixels
– Color: blue
– Line height: 1.6 em
These properties are usually determined by your website’s theme.
If you are using the Astra theme, you can customize these properties through the customizer, as explained in this guide: https://wpastra.com/docs/typography-free/
When you import a template from our library, it automatically inherits these values from your theme. This feature ensures that your website maintains a consistent and branded appearance.
In the future, if you wish to make changes to colors or sizes, you only need to adjust your theme settings. These changes will be reflected throughout your website. Our templates are deliberately designed to adapt to your website by utilizing the values from your theme.
By default, all templates in our library are displayed in adaptive mode. This means that you get a preview of how a particular template will appear on your website once imported.
However, there may be instances where the preview doesn’t align well with your website’s existing design, especially if your theme settings differ significantly. In such cases, you might prefer to view the original design of those templates.
This is where the non-adaptive mode comes into play.
When you activate non-adaptive mode, the template previews will be displayed with typical, standard values. This allows you to see how the templates are designed to look under standard conditions, helping you better understand their original design.
New
Improvement
Along with the conventional templates, Starter Templates now includes AI-driven building, powered by ZipWP. It will require connecting the user to their ZipWP account and providing their business details, after which it will generate content + images for patterns and pages based on the specified business details.
People get dummy content and images with conventional templates, but with AI, they get business-specific content and relevant images generated by the AI. Building a website will be more than 10 times faster.
