How to Download PowerUp
PowerUp is available for download here at Ultrapack. Installation follows the standard WordPress path, under Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme, just upload the compressed file, activate the theme and set up the main menu to apply the layout to the site.
A theme like this shortens the distance between ready-made design and published content, something especially useful for those who update the site several times a week with new news and videos. Instead of recreating the layout for every article, the structure already comes prepared for that publishing pace.
