Ultimatum 2.5.5 – Theme Framework + Child Themes

Ultimatum is a drag-and-drop framework for WordPress that includes a native layout builder to help you position widgets and plugins anywhere on your pages. It solves the common problem of working within rigid layout structures by giving you more direct control over how elements are arranged, without forcing you into a specific add-on ecosystem. Whether you’re redesigning sections or assembling new page layouts, Ultimatum supports flexible, reusable structure built around WordPress components.

With effortless customization and freedom to use any compatible plugin and widget, Ultimatum fits naturally into existing WordPress workflows. It’s designed to work on a standard WordPress environment (PHP 5+ and MySQL 5+, with WordPress installed and running), and it has been tested across operating systems and multiple hosting setups.
