 * Hey Guido
 * I have to say that the “Shipyard” template is the BEST template I have ever used.
   
   I have used it on a ton of sites. My concern is since your no longer uopdating
   the theme what happens to my sites if there ever is an incompatibility with the
   WP core. Would I be out of luck or would I be able to get support somewhere? 
   The Theme is A W E S O M E
 * Thanks Tony

 * Hi Tony,
 * I have not updated my themes because much nicer feature-rich themes are out there
   nowadays.
    Another reason is the new block/text editor in core and the future
   changes of WordPress in general. I don’t know how WordPress is evolving in the
   future.
 * Current situation: my themes do not support the new block/text editor in dashboard(
   the so called editor styles). In frontend no issues so far..
 * Currently the only thing I’m a bit concerned about is the page/post template 
   feature of my theme (you can select a full width page/post template). As far 
   as I know the new recommended location for this setting is the Customizer.
 * For now there are no other (known) issues with my themes. But if you have find
   any other issues (including CSS) please let me know.
 * Please note: with no other theme there’s an absolute certainty it will be supported
   for many years to come.

 * Hi Guido
 * I use siteorigin as a page editor and so far no problems works nice 🙂
    You say
   there are richer themes out there…I use many themes and ‘Shipyard” is the easiest
   to work with and the I have had no problems. The layout is straight forward not
   like other themes where you have to learn their CMS.
 * I was hoping that if I ever have a problem with one of my clients sites I could
   contact you via this forum and maybe you could help out in some way.
    My sites
   are simple. I don’t get in to the back end. I use to do all my work with HTML5
   and CSS3 Bbut clients have come to me with WordPress sites to update etc so I
   learned WP
 * One site I used the theme on is teridouglas.net another is didweordidntwe.com
   
   and I have many others. Your theme is “the BEST”
 * Thanks for your reply and looking forward to hear from you soon.
 * Best

 * Hi Tony,
 * Both sites look nice, simple and clean 🙂
 * FYI, I use the same clean structure and design for all my [themes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/guido07111975/#content-themes),
   the code looks quite similar.
 * About helping you out, currently I’m still giving support via the forums so that
   won’t be a problem for now. But I cannot guarantee this will be the case for 
   years to come.
 * I might gonna remove my themes from the repository someday, but this theme support
   forum will always stay online.
