We’re excited to announce that Headway 1.5.5 is out of beta. You can download 1.5.5 in the members’ area.
Upgrading:
- If you’re already running Headway 1.5.1, just upload and activate.
- If you’re on 1.0.1, you must use the Headway widgets preparation plugin prior to upgrading. For more, please see the documentation.
Besides having bug fixes, Headway has a new visual editor interface. The complete list of changes are below.
Changelog
Bug Fixes:
- PHP 4 COMPATIBILITY
- Invisible visual editor bug fixed. No more creating new admin user.
- Switching to tags system page from the layout chooser shouldn’t lead you to nowhere now.
- Letter spacing of none/0 will save now.
- A few easy hooks were messed up. Those should be fixed now.
- Twitter Leaf/Feeds Optimized
- Duplicate header/navigation all fixed.
- Header upload and gallery upload should work now.
New Features:
- Completely new interface! Already? Yes…
- Visual editor speed.
- Site Title: There have been numerous sites not using a tagline, thus having a title like “| Site Name”. I’ve added an if statement to remove that pipe character if the have no tagline.
- Header link image URL: If the image uploader fails, you now have the ability to manually type in the URL to your header.
- Mass Font Change: With one click of the mouse, you can change every single font on your site
.
Having been testing this the last couple of weeks, Clay, I can only say this is an amazing piece of kit and continues to set the bar for other developers to follow.
Cheers!
Clay, could you add the video and screen shots to the Upgrade page, please?
Thanks!
Great upgrade! Glad you got rid of all the floating windows. Much faster in Visual Mode, keep up the great work!
A few quick presale questions.
1. Does it work with wordpress-mu?
2. Does it work with wordpress 2.9
3. My current blog is more of a tumbleblog with custom templates/stylesheets on a per category basis. Does Headway still allow me to use custom templates per category while maintaining the visual drag and drop editor?
thanks for your time, looks awesome from the short video I saw. I just wish you had an admin area demo so we could actually play with it first.
1. Not yet. There are plans to make it compatible in the future.
2. Yes. However, Headway doesn’t support the built-in post thumbnailing in 2.9. That will definitely be added when it’s released.
3. You’ll have to stick to the same layout, but you could inject category specific CSS easily.

thank you for the information. It’s to bad about the answers, but I look forward to seeing what pops up in the future with this framework.
IF the only mu issue is thumbs.. there are now fixes for that available.
#2, I was more interested in how headway is going to deal with post-types combined with custom taxonomies, as that opens doors for wp way beyond just a blog to a full blown cms. Add in Justin Tadlocks new ’snippets’ and the options become almost endless.
It will be interesting to see how you tackle that, as no one is going to want to be locked into a single template view, esp with the introduction of the new 2.9 features. I’ve been playing with it a lot lately and frankly it’s amazing.
Can you upgrade from the personal license to the dev license?
Yup, $77.
Hi there,
I’ve just loaded V1.5.5, and … I suppose I can get used to the non-floating palletes, but the Headway platform seems to have taken a step backward because now the site is not exactly wysiwyg…the fonts / colors don’t show exactly, but seems to be represented in Times New Roman, black.
Or am I missing something?
(I’ve gone back to 1.5.1 for now)
I’d appreciate your reply.
Thanks .. Devin
Oops! Don’t know what happened there. Could have been my mistake, or because the old 1.5.1 visual editor was also still open. — The original fonts and colors are showing again : )
Thanks .. Devin
Hy, I’m a french designer (sorry for my crappy english)
I’m very interessed in your theme, but I have few questions before buying it !
In your quick tour video, we can see that is it very easy to customise the layout with the visual tool but we can’t see the power of your theme for a developper… (I just saw taht there is “custom.css” page)
For exemple :
If I want to code all header manually… Can I remove the header of your theme without breaking everything ?
I want to keep all the “visual design tool” exept for the header because I want the same header in all my website (blog and html hardcode
Thx
any news as to whether headway works with wordpress-mu 2.9.1 yet?
also, would love to see some type of documentation or video on how headway deals with different templates. Meaning can I assign different templates to different pages/categories/post-types etc…
Bought the theme. Working on setting up a new site. I really like it so far!
My question: Is it possible to change the font color and background color when hovering, such as in the navigation bar?
I don’t see where I can do that in the Headway editor.
Would I need to go into the code and if so, where would I go to change it for the nav bar?
Thank you kindly.
