Headway with AJ: Introducing Headway 3.5 Developer Beta
Today we’re letting the world know that we’ve released a developer beta of Headway 3.5! We actually released it on May 1st as a dry run of our system, and today we are going to give you a quick screencast to show off some of the new feature, Multiple Wrappers!
Headway 3.5 will feature multiple wrappers. So not only will your sites and designs be limited to a single fixed wrapper, you’ll actually be able to use fluid wrappers with fluid grid or fixed grid, or a fixed wrapper with a fixed grid.
Remember that betas are only available to our developer license holders. Not a developer license holder? No problem! Sign up or upgrade now, and get in on testing this new release!
Don’t take my word for it though, check out the video below!
Headway with AJ: Storefront: WooCommerce Screencast
Today marks the reboot of the Screencast Tuesday series. I hinted at it on Twitter yesterday, and got some great feedback about maybe renaming it to the ‘Headway with AJ’ so I renamed it for the time being since this week and next, they aren’t coming on out Tuesdays. They are still packed with helpful tips and tricks though to get you moving in the right direction for your next project.
This week’s screencast is one that’s been asked about for awhile now. We just haven’t had time to get to it. We’re going to be coving WooCommerce and the Storefront: WooCommerce block by Headway. There’s a lot of information we could go into, and while I didn’t really think you all wanted me to talk on and on for hours about WooCommerce (there’s a lot of things it does!!), I wanted to focus our time on using it with Storefront: WooCommerce block, and with Headway.
The screencast is about 20 minutes in length and covers a fresh install of WordPress, Headway, WooCommerce and Storefront: WooCommerce block. I go over a few of the minor settings I wanted to change in WooCommerce, how to fill your store with test products so you can play with the pages and design your site, and we go over the few uses for the Storefront: WooCommerce block.
Update: The screencast is now here. Sorry about that ya’ll!
Screencast Tuesday: What’s New in Headway 3.3!

Today marks a pretty large milestone for us as we’ve been releasing Headway 3.x continuously for just under a year and today we’re marking that with Headway 3.3. It’s been a couple of months since we’ve pushed out a release, and there’s a reason for that! We’re excited to announce that today we’re releasing Headway 3.3! There’s quite a few things that went into the release, some we’ve even hinted at on Twitter.
This release encompasses quite a lot of backend updates and a couple of easter eggs we’re going to show you right now. Check out this week’s Screencast Tuesday to get an update of just what went into this release.
To view the release notes for this release, make sure to visit the Release Notes thread on the Support forums. We’d love to hear what you think about this release! Let us know in the comments!
Screencast Weekly: Using Duplicator to Backup or Move your Headway Powered Site
It’s that time of the week again!! We’ve all been busy working on getting the marketplace up and running and filling it with blocks and child themes. While we’re excited for the launch of that, the past few weeks took a toll on me and I wasn’t able to get out a screencast. I do apologize about that but the good news is we’re back! And this week’s I think you are going to love.
We get asked this question a lot, How can I move my Headway website, and typically our answer is to use BackupBuddy. It’s the best product on the market that meets the needs of both backing up and moving your site. However, we understand some people don’t want to purchase another product to do that, so we took the advice of our customers and I spent a little time playing with Duplicator, a free plugin that seems to do a lot of what BackupBuddy does, but more stripped down features. So this week’s screencast, I’m showing you how to setup Duplicator and how you can use it to move your site from one place to another. I do want to point out, that I didn’t have internet when I went to make this screencast, so there were some weird issues when it came in getting the installer.php file needed. Other than that, you should be able to use this to move your own site from one place to another as long as you’ve got the necessary information. This video is a little on the longer side (around 15 minutes), and so when I get some more time, I’ll update the video, and hopefully it will not include the errors I encountered.
Screencast Weekly: Using Theme Test Drive
Getting back to our simple support help videos, I thought today would be a perfect time to show you how to use Theme Test Drive to help you with moving your live site over to Headway 3! There are several people in the community taking the time to do the update from Headway 2.x to Headway 3.x instead of waiting for the update process, what’s even greater to see is that there are some that are others coming from other themes (both free and premium) and want to design their site on their live install. This video runs just over 7 minutes.
