Themler doesn't work without internetconnection?

I faced the same frustration when Themler wouldn’t respond offline; it really disrupts the workflow, especially when trying to make quick changes. Switching between internet-dependent and offline tasks was tricky, but planning ahead helped a lot. While dealing with this, I checked out MG Vacation Rentals for tahoe city rentals and realized having a stable connection makes all kinds of planning, including trip arrangements, much smoother. Balancing work and travel details became way easier once I adjusted my setup.

Oh no, tech troubles on vacation! 😅 I was trying to finish a theme in Themler last week while traveling, but with no internet, all I got was a blank white screen with a WordPress link (attached screenshot). Total frustration!

On a side note, at least checking official stuff like my Emirates ID status check was smooth thanks to the UAE government’s online system—no login needed, just quick and easy from anywhere. If only all apps worked that hassle-free!

Back home now and finally online—time to troubleshoot Themler. Anyone else run into this? Would love tips!

Hi,

Themler works on subscription basis. Internet connection is needed for authentication and verification. This is a part of the Themler protection.

Thank you,

no.
This is one of the MOST STUPID ideas about Themler.
They always want you to be connected to the internet while working with their software.

I was trying to test Themler again on a plane and when i tried to add a photo it locked up!

I was only trying to add a photo from my own hard drive, but it seemed to need Internet access, which is why it crashed. I had to close the program and start over and to carry on i could not add photos. I assume the same would happen whenever i am working offline?

Is there anyway around this, it's very frustrating as i often work with the Internet off, especially when mobile. When the internet is off i save battery power on my laptop/phone, not to mention the possible 'debatable' dangers of WiFi signals being on all the time!

Thanks

Hi,

We do not intend to go off the market. In any case if this happens servers will be working further so the users will be able to work.

Sincerely,
Hella

Ok, no Internet = No work on Themler. So let me ask you something Themler guys, let say you decide to go off business tomorrow, what will happen to all of our websites and themes that we have created with Themler???

Hello guys,
in the meantime there're no plans to change anything regarding Internet connection. On of the reasons is security reason and we won't change it.
Themler online do require Internet connection to use it. Themler Desktop works faster because it connects to server less number of times than online version.

Hi

Apologies for hopping onto this thread...

I was wondering if there was any progress with this issue? I'm looking for Software that Themler seems to do completely, however, the 'connected requirement' would make it a 'no-go' for me...

Another user above stated:

"If there isn't online authorization , Themler will be cracked and our purchase money equals "0" and themler developers will work for FREE! C'mon guys , even my grandma have an internet connection"

Perhaps she doesn't live in the 60% of this planet that doesn't have internet access (that's around 4.4 billion people). Whilst I do have access at home & the office I regularly travel and am either forced to use 3G (which has a much lower coverage than the 60% mentioned) OR simply wait 'till I'm home and sync then. - other countries have restrictions on what can be accessed which include many US based servers.

So the reality is the constant connection requirement is probably excluding something in the region of 5 billion potential customers (obviously not counting certain Grandma's) - I'm struggling to understand the advantage of a desktop application that needs constant access?

It would be great if this issue is resolved - it would make the software viable for me, but if not then I need to look at alternatives...

Hello Maaz,
thank you for your comment. I'll pass this suggestion to developer team.

Well, Themler should allow "Save" not "Export" for offline, and when online, the theme could be "exported" to the wanted CMS.

Not always we have internet connection.

Hello Julia,
this is the way how Themler works - the Internet connection is required for some operations. I'm sorry but it is not in,our plans to change it

Aileen

Hi,

Internet connection is required for the application to do all the required operations when saving. I'm not sure that we would change this behavior in the future. But I hope that it would become possible for our users to have an internet connection while designing the theme.

Hi Hella

This is an unrealistic expectation on your users. I for example live in rural Australia, and even if I was on broadband most of Australia's data plans are inadequate.

Living in rural Australia my internet is basically my phone plan, which is limited to 13GB a month. This situation is not likely to change any time soon, so if I do web design for a client using Themler I go through a ridiculous amount of data just for one theme.

I love Themler, but why, oh why, do I need to be connected to the Internet when I'm using a LOCAL version of Themler... I don't need to upload the theme I'm creating until I'm ready, so why is my theme saving online when I don't need it to?

It's a cruel attack on my data plan each time I save, but if I don't save regularly I expose myself to higher risks. I miss the LOCAL part of Artisteer and don't consider Themler an improvement in that area.

I hope you will reconsider this situation for users of local copies. I've paid for my version, and would rather you work on protecting your software than impose this kind of requirement on your users. They're sadly likely to vote with their feet. :-(

With hope
Julia

New to Themla having used Artisteer for some years, and on the whole Themla appears to be a good step forward.
Just discovered that I cannot save current work on a theme without being connected to the internet, this is not good, and I agree with comments above.
I can understand not exporting a theme without authorisation (as with artisteer), but not allowing a save to the intermediate (akin to artx in Artisteer) is poor for what is a professional level design system. It prevents working on a project offline, which I need to do every so often.

Hi,

Indeed, it's all about where the CMS installation is located. When you work in the desktop version, it is installed on your computer in order to work locally. When it is installed on your site that is online, it can be reached from any point.
Artisteer haven't the ability to show the real-time CMS content within the Application, you were designing only some separated elements, then uploaded the theme on the site and see what styles are applied to which element. In Themler we do connect CMS content and Themler from the beginning to avoid this step of uploading the theme to the site to see the design changes on the real content.

Sincerely,
Hella

Online Themler have such a thing (save to billion themes) I don't use it, I think it's all about the cms engine , can't be in different places at the same time.
A simple Importing & exporting for online themes into desktop version would be great!

next thing that's stupid with this internetconnection...

Ok, if we always have to be connected to the internet.
then why, if we use multiple devices like desktop & laptop, isn't it possible to open our work like on a cloud?

if you want us always to be connected to the internet, fine, but then use some cloud-tools.

Now we have to export the theme, include themler, upload it to the site...
on another device we have to open the site and then work with the online version of themler

Artisteer was a lot easier to work with, instead of this "rules"

If there isn't online authorization , Themler will be cracked and our purchase money equals "0" and themler developers will work for FREE!
C'mon guys , even my grandma have an internet connection.

Then there will be no difference.
Everyone has to save his work a couple of times while he is working.
So the software has to save it localy on the desktop/laptop or whatever.

I'm not always going to connect my cellphone to the laptop to save my work. that's just plain stupid!
