Overview
We’ve been developing premium WordPress themes for a few years and have always been lacking essentials things in the WordPress core.
There’re numerous plugins in the WordPress repository, however if you install them all, there’s inconsistency in their backend and frontend styles and possible plugin conflicts.
That’s why we created Powerkit, essentials components for every WordPress blog or magazine.
Components have modular structure and can be enabled or disabled with a single click. They have been thoroughly tested and play well together.

Mostly Great But Some Features Are Lazy
by alikgriffin·5 years ago
The plugin is pretty good with the integration of everything, especially if your theme takes advantage of it.
Some of the features are lazy and don’t work well. The Tiled, or Justified Gallery is very poorly done. It crops your images and requires a mix of horizontal and vertical images for it to look halfway decent. It would be actually useful if they implemented it more like Jetpack does the tiled galleries. It’s a shame because their gallery looks really nice and clean.
For SEO it would also be nice if the images from the featured posts on the sidebar ware scaled properly.
