Title: toolbox, forms Last modified: April 14, 2019 --- # toolbox, forms * [piklistuser23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piklistuser23/) * (@piklistuser23) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toolbox-forms/) * It’s been years since the last inquiry here. In the video demo of piklist back in 2013 both of these features were demonstrated and/or discussed and touted as part of the defining/best features piklist had to offer, and that they would be included fully open source. 5 years later and they are both hiding behind a beta program that seems inaccessible, and most recently (2-year old inquiry on here) mentioned thinking about charging for the features as well. * Also, I recall the presentation mentioning that the demonstrated piklist contact manager would be released as a demonstration application. * 1 – I submitted to the beta but have heard no response 2 – I chose piklist in part because of the demo of those features which I would very much like to use 3 – Is the piklist project dead/dying/abandoned? seems to be very low activity on the forums, and there seem to be quite a few bugs unresolved in the past couple years even. 4 – Is piklist a safe bet anymore? * 5 – where is the contact manager demo application? Often the best way to learn something is to have a fully self-contained solution using it. The built-in ‘ add-on’ demos help demonstrate individual features, but don’t demonstrate how to stand up a new plugin to use piklist.

We still have every intention of releasing those features as a plugin(s). As WordPress and Piklist have changed over the years, the ideas for “Toolbox” and “Fields and Forms” have changed a bit as well. 2) Every feature in “Toolbox” and “Fields and Forms” is currently available in Piklist via code. 3) Low activity on the forums, means less bugs and issues. Piklist is alive and well. Kevin and I use it everyday on client projects. 4) We think so. 5) This is the same as #1 above. It took a backseat to Piklist itself. The built-in add-on’s are a great example of how to build plugins for Piklist. That whole folder is essentially a plugin. * I hope I answered your questions! * Thread Starter [piklistuser23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piklistuser23/) * (@piklistuser23) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toolbox-forms/#post-11431933) * I don’t see any of the FEF or taxonomy stuff demonstrated in the demo video in the current piklist plugin. What am I missing?
