What’s next for Flothemes
Effective September 20th 2023, the Flothemes store is closed and Flothemes products is no longer available for purchase. We will no longer release new themes and features for Flothemes products.
It is important to note that your existing Flothemes website is not impacted. You can continue to use and update your site as usual. If you have an active Flothemes subscription, you will not be charged for renewal, and you will continue to receive access to the current product.
What happens to my Flothemes website?
Your site will continue to run, and you will still be able to create and build your own FlexBlocks and edit any existing FlexBlocks. This is applicable for all one-time themes (Pronto, Flexthemes, and Classic themes) and for all Pronto all-in-one subscriptions.
If you want to save the Flex Blocks as a backup to use them in the future, you can export them as JSON files. Here you can find a detailed article on how to export the Flex Blocks.
Will my website break if there are any WordPress updates?
We recommend Flothemes users to continue using the below recommended WordPress and PHP versions:
– Pronto All-in-One or the Pronto theme: PHP version 8.2, WordPress 6.2.2.
– Flextheme: PHP version 7.4 – 8.0, WordPress 6.2.2.
If you do update your WordPress version, while we cannot guarantee this, your site will likely continue to work just fine. Historically, minor updates have not known to break anything on our themes, and only major version upgrades might have an impact. For reference, here are the historical timeline for major version upgrade for WordPress:
WordPress 3 → 4: 2014
WordPress 4 → 5: 2018
WordPress 5 → 6: 2022
While we do not know for certain, the next major upgrade should be 2026 or beyond. Source
