What’s new in Smart Up 1.5
Version 1.5 · Aug 13, 2024

What it does
Event organizers need a site that answers the same questions every attendee asks: who is speaking, when sessions happen, how to register and how long until the doors open. This theme puts those pieces in place with speaker profiles, schedule timelines and a countdown timer. It suits a small workshop as well as a larger conference, and the layouts are responsive and retina ready so visitors on phones, tablets and desktops see a clean page.
Setup starts with a one-click demo import that loads designed demo content you can then edit. From there, the theme options panel lets you adjust layouts, color schemes, headers and footers without writing code. Ticketing and registration work through integration with ticketing platforms, and WooCommerce support lets you sell merchandise or extra services. The theme is translation ready and works with plugins like WPML, which helps if your audience speaks more than one language.
Best for
- Conference organizers promoting speakers and agendas
- Seminar and workshop hosts needing a registration-ready site
