The last template update was 4 1/2 months ago. Since then we have had 2 updates to Easysocial, 5 updates to EasyBlog, 3 updates to EasyDiscuss, 1 update to Converskit etc and each one brings the template further out of alignment with the rest of the Stackideas products.

There are a number of new features which we can't use, EasyDiscuss doesn't work without the fix found in the help section, same for menu's, new versions of Helix aren't supported etc

I realise that it takes time to update all of these apps and templates, but releasing updates and new versions to core products doesn't really help if we can't update because we are stuck with an old template.
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Currently we haven't plan to release another version yet, because our developer focus on the Payplans 4 stable version and the Easysocial 3.0, but i will raise this up to our developer regarding this.

In meanwhile, may i know which domain site you plan to use Office template? Perhaps I can provide you those temporary fix for all those issue what you facing currently?

Thanks for the offer but its not needed.
We are already using the template and have found our own work-around to the problems.
However, I am surprised that Stackideas is offering extensions with known flaws, where you have to find the fix yourself by reading through the forums.
For example, installing Office template WILL break your menu's.
The Office template override for EasyDiscuss WILL stop your site discussions from working

Also, as a user of the template, we have no idea of which of the fixes and new features are working (not affected by the Office template overrides) and which need the template files to be updated. Nor do we know if the template will be compatible with the new updates.

At worst case fix the known bugs and issue a statement on each Easysocial/EasyDiscuss/EasyBlog/EasyArticles update as to their compatibility with existing templates.

Hey there,

We will release Office template new version today, you can give it a try later and see whether those issue still persists.

Also, as a user of the template, we have no idea of which of the fixes and new features are working (not affected by the Office template overrides) and which need the template files to be updated. Nor do we know if the template will be compatible with the new updates.

Yes, currently we do not have changelog for all these template yet, we will see if we can do something about this in the future.
If you have create some template override file for your existing extension, for now it would be best is setup one of the staging site then only perform the update template latest version from there and see whether everything is work correctly.
