The Piklist community is really growing and we couldn’t be happier. When developers and non-developers can easily manipulate the WordPress admin, users benefit from easy to use interfaces and more interesting features can be built. This has lead to a rise in usage, and some pretty awesome sites being built with Piklist.
The current version of Piklist has been tested with WordPress 3.6 and we’ve found no new bugs so please continue to use it for your projects. We’re excited to see what you build, so feel free to let us know in our forums.
So, when’s the next version of Piklist? And why the sudden slow down with updates?
Late last year we started getting more clients using Piklist and hiring us to build features. Some of these features were already on our roadmap, and some were totally off the map. But they were all pretty awesome and would benefit the entire Piklist community, so we were excited to build them. As we started to enhance Piklist, we also realized some of the older code could be improved and we started to rewrite this as well. This included how Piklist stores field data, which is obviously a core feature. Before we knew it, we had a much better version of Piklist with tons of new functionality, but unfortunately, wasn’t 100% backwards compatible. To make matters worse, we never branched off our main Git repo, so we had no choice but to finish this version completely before releasing it. During this process, clients started adding new features, and we got caught in a cycle… enhance Piklist… finish Piklist… enhance Piklist… finish Piklist… etc.
We now believe this cycle is coming to an end and hope to have a new version of Piklist in the coming weeks.
When it’s ready for testing, we’ll announce it here and let you now where you can download it.
If you thought you could build amazing things now… just wait until you get your hands on the next version of Piklist!

Sounds good! Looking forward to using it for a couple projects. Thanks guys!
I love PickList, using it to create forms for adding attributes to a workflow is genius. I wish it was closer in relationship with PODs. PODs is solid and the combo of PickList with PODs I think would keep some duplication of PickList feature out of PickList Code.
Eager to see the next version, good job! greetings!
Great to hear this. Been wondering.
Hey… I recently heard about Piklist. Looks really exciting! I started testing and found there seems to be a problem with using it together with Pagelines. I thought I’d go ahead and note this for the record: http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/25532-pagelines-admin-layout-looks-odd/
Hey Joe– Can you be more specific about the issue?
Hey Steve —
Yeah… If you see at the top of the thread, someone posted a screenshot of what their Pagelins admin screen looks like. It’s something other than what it’s supposed to look like. In his case, he’s likely using a different plugin. But Piklist has the same issue.
Looking forward to a new release!
is there a deadline planified ? or a beta version ready for training ?
We’re working on it!
Must have beta version, must have beta version… Sorry, brain stuck again… Keep up the good work guys, like all slow-cooked food, it tastes amazing when its finally done.
Marcus
Do you have an ETA of your next release yet?
Is this project still active ?
Wake Up guys , we need your great complete promising features for next version !
Any Beta verson available !?!
Of course the project is still active. Working on the beta now.
If the new version isn’t going to be backwards compatible does that mean when this new version hits we’ll have to update our Piklist template integrations?
@Leonard– We’re trying hard to make sure the new release is backwards compatible, and could really use the communities help with testing. You can learn about the development version here. Make sure you back up your database, and please report all bugs on our support forum.
