Headway 1.5 looks great! Does Headway allow you to do the floating search bar you have on your site without any special programming?

Headway seems to be good but I have been using Thesis for too long to change now. .-= Loloz Pine Furniture´s most recent blog post ...Special Offer Of The Week =-.

No, what I meant was the download time for the readers, the viewers… I got an email from Headway acknowledging that it can “drag sometimes,” but he said that Headway 1.6 is cache friendly so “when you actually are using something like W3 Total Cache or WP-Super Cache, it screams.” (I’m not a techie, but I assume he’s referring to the viewing experience of my the readers…)

I went to the W3 Total Cache website, and (if I got this right) they claim it makes things download for most of your viewers…. looks very promising to me!

Hi there Eric,

Not quite sure what you mean with regards “download time”. Is this downloading the theme ready for install? Or making changes and refresh rate? Or something different completely?

I used Thesis prior to Headway on this blog and I haven’t found any difference at all. There is a small delay when saving changes that are made, but then when you compare that to the time it takes to make a change, save, check, make a change, save and check again, etc, that all other themes make you go through, there’s no comparison

If that’s not what you mean, let me know and I’ll be happy to help if I can.

Cheers!

Headway looks awesome and seems to have the click-and-point, no-coding visual design I’m looking for… My main reservation is that I’ve seen review feedback that the download time for a Headway Theme is slow compared to Thesis.

Will this be addressed soon in a future upgrade, or it something inherent in the drag-and-drop capability that Headway has?

Hi Chris,

Yep, when you upload the image, you have an option to add a URL underneath. This can be to anywhere you want, internal or external. This is all from out-of the box, and is very easy to do

Hi Danny,

I’m wondering about the image rotator. Does it allow you to click on the images that are in the rotator and can those images be linked to URL’s on another site? I want to create a large rotating header similar to this:

http://themeforest.net/item/magnifico-wp-edition/full_screen_preview/70729

Is that doable out of the box or is there another plug-in I can use? Thanks so much!

Chris
