Just love this theme; have been using it for about 2 years.
My blog seems to have blown open lately and I’m getting about 1500 unique users a month, close to 5k hits per month and it seems to be growing. I decided to finally pull the plug on WordPress.com and open my blog in its own domain.
The “old” blog is at the same address but with the dot wordpress dot com.
I’m using 1&1 to host my domain and they have a plug and play WordPress app that seems to work ok. I’m moving my pages over. The Black-Letterhead on my WordPress site says that Black-Letterhead is available at WordPress.org but I do not see it there. I am able to download it here but can I upload it using the 1&1 WordPress app?
I’m not sure exactly how to upload this theme. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Scott,
Your hosting provider provides you with a FTP account so you can upload files to your server. You can either use their own FTP program or use a FTP client such as Filezilla to upload the theme to your server. I hope I lead you in the right direction. If you still need further help, I am available to do contract work for a nominal fee. Let me know if you’re interested.
Nice theme, but it is to black for me
Is this Theme Compatible with the latest WordPress 3.3.1 ??
Yes. This is running the latest WordPress release.
Hello I noticed an updat for Black-Letterhead so I uploaded the new version.. Everything looked great I added my custom header than cam back a few hours later and the Theme was white and looked like another theme? I went into admin and the New Functions with your theme was lost and replaced with something that just cant be Black Letterhead theme? I double checked and yes it is using the latest theme files.. So I went back to the old theme then re activated the new theme again … everything looked great than in the morning I came back and its displaying white again with widgets in different areas? This is weird so I went back to old theme files again and left this up to you to figure out whats going on?
Hi John, That is weird. I have this running on this blog for several months. No problems so far. Do you have a test blog so you can test the newer theme without messing up your production website? You might want to test it there first. It sounds like a cache expiring. Not sure what’s going on.
Hello I can activate the newer version again I dont have a TEST for this but do you think because there are two themes called the same in my themes folder for this to happen? Go to my website and view the theme it should change by the time you see this reply.
As you can see my Black Letterjead theme is not Black -Letterhead it Auto Changes to this theme even though it is set in my WP admin as the Current Theme.. It gets hi jacked after so many hours and this appears?
It looks like there’s a conflict with another theme or the theme settings gets trashed and somehow your theme goes back to the default Kubrick. What WordPress version are you using? Kubrick is old. The default WordPress theme is now “2011.” What happens if you remove other themes? Does it make a difference? If you want, you can email me with your username and password so I can take a look at it. Email me via my contact page at http://ulyssesonline.com.
Did you say you have two similar themes called Black Letterjead and Black-Letterhead? To WordPress, the two themes are the same unless the two have different THEME NAME(s) in style.css. You need to change. They have to be unique. That’s probably the reason why WordPress is confused, hence it goes to the default theme.
Yeah I have two Black-Letterhead themes called the exact same name.. I emailed you my info to correct the style.css
Thanks
Hello again the theme is back to the white & blue WP Default again?? WEIRD go ahead and take a look please it seemed to last much longer than previously this time …
Hi John, Have you tried deleting the old BlackLettehead theme? See if that works. Not sure why your blog behaves that way. Really weird.
honestly its not there I thought you deleted the old one.. I have just the one and its activated and not working So I really don’t know what to do Like Your Theme used it for 5 years or more but now I cant even revert back to the old one which works…
i found the files FTP online I hard deleted the Old Files Black-Letterhead and reactivated the New 1.7.1 again wait and see what happens again?
even with one version of Black-Letterhead in my themes folder now you can see it just does not work??
I’ve been using this theme for over a year with no problems. I use it almost totally for putting up articles, using ‘page’ and not ‘post’, (other than the home page, which I’m going to change). I’m trying to use it for another site, but none of the articles are coming up in the sidebar to the right. Nothing is appearing to indicate that they even exist. I much prefer a side menu to an overhead menu. Am I missing something obvious.
Derek, do you have a link? I can take a look at it.
hi, first of all, thank you for developing this theme! i’m using it since i first got myself a wordpress blog.
however, english is not my native language and i’d appreciate a lot if i could translate blackletterhead with assurance these changes won’t be lost in the next version.
would you please internationalise it?

(if you want me to do the work, please send me an e-mail)
