HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE YOOTHEME PRO BETA PACKAGE MANUALLY?

In the documentation, you can find how to update your version of the theme to the latest beta version using the minimum stability option.

If you want to test the beta version on a test environment, you need to install the latest stable version (download here), then change the update settings and get the beta version through automatic updates.

If you do not see a message about the availability of the beta version, then in Joomla it is enough to simply clear the update cache and repeat the search for updates again.

There is no such button for WordPress, but you can use the Force Update Check for Plugins and Themes plugin to reset the update cache.

But how to download the package yourself if you want to test it without automatic updates?
