Don't want to change themes?
No problem! Trellis is still remaining active and will be maintained for any security bugs/fixes. So there's no rush to switch themes if you're happy with your Trellis site! Your subscription will continue to renew until cancelled.

Non recipe sites
The Feast Plugin and Lattice Plugin both work for non recipe sites! While the language is targeted towards food blogs, all industries will find different features to be useful.
Support
Trellis users with an active license will continue to receive full technical support, now from the Feast Design Co team! Our deep expertise in theme-related issues means that we've seen everything, and are able to support Trellis issues and the overall site setup.
Where technical issues fall outside the scope of theme support, the team is happy to provide recommendations for third-party plugins and service providers.
Q&A
Trellis is continuing to function as-is in maintenance mode with full support for current Trellis functionality.
All new features and updates will be delivered via the Lattice Plugin, included with your existing Trellis subscription in your account right now!
Your subscription will renew as-is unless canceled.
Your site will continue to function as-is, and any pre-existing optimizations will remain in place. However, any content changes will no longer receive the image and CSS optimizations that come from the Trellis subscription.
Yes! Through our partnership with Mediavine, we're including an unlimited license for Shortpixel (image optimization) and WP Rocket (CSS + JS optimization) to sites migrating from Trellis, while available.
Both of these plugins include industry-leading optimizations that keep up with current browser standards and technology.
Similar to Trellis, we're not able to guarantee pagespeed results with third-party scripts or plugins, which aren't related to the theme. See the pagespeed documentation and plugin audit page for more information.
We've automatically integrated Trellis' ad optimization technology into our setup, which helps to ensure is earning optimally when following our recommended setup.
Yes! You can follow the Feast Plugin Setup instructions to do this yourself. However, each subscription coming from Trellis has 1 free migration to save you time and effort.
For Trellis users with more than 1 site, you can purchase additional Theme + Plugin Setup services from Feast, or do it yourself. The cost of these additional migrations is partially offset by Feast's flat $249/year license for unlimited personal sites.
Trellis and Feast share a very similar theme philosophy, so sites following the Trellis guidelines for scripts and plugins should not experience any issues when migrating to Feast.
Review the plugin audit and pagespeed documentation for pagespeed optimization resources and troubleshooting.
The Trellis migration service converts any Trellis theme over to Foodie Pro 5 with full Trellis technology integrated.
Our other themes do not have Trellis technology integrations and are not available.
We've moved the Mediavine Marketplace to TrellisWP.com and your account and subscription have been moved there.
Custom themes are the responsibility of the developer who customized them. No two developers do things the same way, which makes it impossible for anyone else to effectively support custom themes. This means that theme updates/changes need to be done by the original developer.
Customizations are rarely done in a way that is compliant with best practices for SEO, accessibility, pagespeed and user experience. This means that changing or updating a theme is an opportunity to revert to best practices.
If you want to keep a custom theme, any updates or theme changes will need to be done by the original developer.
With Trellis, yes, you need an active subscription to access the image and CSS optimization services API. Trellis was designed specifically for use with the Trellis optimizations API and so third party plugins generally don't work well.
With the Feast setup, you can choose not to use Shortpixel and WP Rocket, if you want to self-support and troubleshoot issues related to images and pagespeed. The benefit of using Shortpixel and WP Rocket is that there are thousands of sites using an identical setup and if an issue arises, it will typically be fixed faster and cheaper than doing it yourself.
No, sites running the Feast Plugin with Foodie Pro 5 still require the Genesis parent theme.
The Trellis technology we've integrated is separate from the Trellis framework itself - there is no framework being changed for Foodie Pro 5.
Yes! If you already have the Feast Plugin active on a Trellis theme, you still get a theme migration from Trellis to Foodie Pro 5.
