Black-Letterhead 1.6.2
December 17th, 2009Tags: 1.6.2, black-letterhead, blackletterhead, themes, WordPress
Categories: General, HTML, Internet, PHP, WordPress
I just released Black-Letterhead version 1.6.2. This latest version supports WordPress 2.9 scheduled for release within a week. WordPress 2.9 has a new feature called post thumbnails. It allows a thumbnail or an image to be displayed in each post. Previously, blog owners have been using plugins to have this feature available on their blogs.
Changes
Functions.php
To activate the post_thumbnail feature, the function has to be enabled in functions.php.
if (function_exists('add_theme_support'))
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
Post.php
This entry is placed before the main content.
<?php if (function_exists('the_post_thumbnail'))
{the_post_thumbnail('post-thumbnail');} ?>
Single.php
This entry is the same as above, but in single page mode.
<?php if (function_exists('the_post_thumbnail'))
{the_post_thumbnail('post-thumbnail');} ?>
Index.php
Replaced navigation functions when viewing the home page.
<div>
<div><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries'); ?></div>
<div><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »'); ?></div>
</div>
Footer.php
Edited copyright information to include year 2010. Users can modify footer.

Any special reason why you removed site headers for all sites using your “Black Letterhead” theme?
Here is an example: http://sladescross.wordpress.com/
The theme being used by WordPress.com was based on an earlier version of Black-Letterhead.
Hi,
I’ve used your black-letterhead, which I love, but with the new WordPress 3.0, it doesn’t seem to be working. I can’t download an upgrade, the page doesn’t show up, and I’m wondering if you’re going to upgrade it so that it will work for 3.0? I hope so, otherwise, I have to choose a different theme and I really don’t want to do that. Please upgrade it, and please let me know if I can fix it because I really want to use it. It is the identity of my blog.
Thanks!
Hi Carrie,
The latest version should be compliant with WordPress 3.0. I was running Black-Letterhead 1.6.2 on WordPress 3.0 last night and I didn’t have any issues. Do you have a link I can check?
By the way, you can download the theme from the download link above.
Hi Ulysses,
Pl fix the download link at the bottom of the content.
Link below the image is working
Thanks for the wonderful theme.
Babaji, I didn’t realize the link was broken. It’s fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. Have a great day.
very beautiful template that is perfect for the ad blog hi this my first visit thank you for the information
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you like the theme.
Hello,
This is a great theme, and I love it, as well as my associates. Still playing with it, and wondering if there is a way to reduce the “distance” between “Get the Word Out” and the headline “Savvy Journalist….” That’s a lot of space, and one observer thinks the distance could be shortened.
Try #header {height:120px} instead of 200px.
