Visit [http://www.funnelenvy.com/headlineenvy-wordpress-optimizely](http://www.funnelenvy.com/headlineenvy-wordpress-optimizely) for official support of this plugin. ## Screenshots * [[ * Add an alternate title to begin an experiment. * [[ * Multiple headlines added to experiment. * [[ * Winning headline! ## Installation 1. Install HeadlineEnvy either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server. 2. After activating HeadlineEnvy, head over to the HeadlineEnvy settings page and enter your Optimizely API key. 3. Once your Optimizely API key has been entered, select the Optimizely project that you wish HeadlineEnvy to use for creating its experiments. 4. Select the post types you wish to allow for headline testing. 5. Visit any post edit page and you will see a new button prompting you to add additional headlines! Enter a few and hit Save/Update/Publish. 6. That’s it! Note: HeadlineEnvy works by attaching to the [the_title](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/the_title) filter hook. If your theme or plugin uses a method of getting post titles that does not trigger that hook HeadlineEnvy will be unable to A/B test those cases. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “HeadlineEnvy – headline testing with Optimizely” is open source software.
