Can I ask, for those using the existing plugin of Timber v1 - will the plugin be deleted when the Timber plugin is no longer being supported (ie will the theming currently being used on sites disappear or crash if you have not moved to composer?) |

ah that's a little bothersome. I'm using Timber because I already had a blog theme written using Twig templating, and did not want to write any PHP in service of switching from my old blog engine to Wordpress. Since you state that Timber is for developers, is there an alternative for someone who just wants to specify how a website should be laid out without having to write anything other than HTML and CSS? |

Hi from the development team of Timber!
We are in the final stretch to release Timber 2.0. 🎉
Timber 2.0 is a complete overhaul to the latest coding standards, fully supports PHP 8.2 and overall is a great step forward to make interacting with the Timber API's a lot more consistent across all functionalities.
With that being said, we also decided to say farewell to the plugin version of Timber.
What does this mean
Why we are dropping plugin support
There are many reasons why we have decided to not release Timber as a plugin anymore, but to highlight the main reasons:
We fully understands that this change will come as a surprise to many of you. We understand that this will give you additional work, but we do think this is the best way moving forward. We hope we can count on your support on this.
How to switch to the Composer-based install
If you are still using the Timber plugin we will encourage you to switch to the Composer-based install of Timber v1 as soon as possible.
We have an extensive guide on how to switch from the plugin version to the composer based one.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
