Howdy;

looks nice ! Im searching right now a nice wordpress theme for my blog … maybee i will try yours (later)

Salut

I like the layout of this theme! Although, a bit dark for my taste.

I am so glad you guys like it ^_<

There seems to be an issue with the side bar when viewing individual posts (i.e. click a post’s title). The side bar is underneath all the content. I’ve made no modifications to the theme.

@Joseph
Yap, I see that now, maybe a little mistake in Single.php, I will fix it right away, thanks Joseph.

Hi,

let me know when you fixed that problem with the view on individual posts. This theme could be perfect for my girlfriends blog! Thanks a lot.

@Michael,
It’s fixed. You can download the 1.0.2 version from here, I am trying to update the one on WordPress theme directory. Wish your girl friend like it.

@Zack

Many, many thanks! I’m downloading the new version right now. My girlfriend (chasingdani.com) will be definitely happy. Just want to change some font colors and put a picture in the header for her, but i guess i will make it for myself.. :)

@Michael
You’re welcome. And it’s very easy to change the font colors and header, I believe you can do it yourself.

Thanks to Joseph for helping me with the sidebar bug.

Hello Zack,

Thanks for the great theme. I was having the same Sidebar issue and your new version corrected it. Perfect!

Thanks
Scotty

Zack, thanks a lot for the theme. But, obviously, I have the samу problem as Michael had — http://www.kachala.ru/2008/11/i-eshhe-odin-noyabr/

You said, the theme is fixed and we should download a 1.0.2 version, but i can’t really find a download link for the newest version. Where from may I download it?

I’ve override the download link above, so if you click the download link, you’ll get the new version rather than 1.0.1, or you can just download from this link:
http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/BlacknWhite.rar

Yeah, thanks a lot again :)
The theme is really great.

Hi there,

Great theme, it’s just what I’ve been looking for. I do have one question… is it possible to remove the grey bars on the top and bottom of the posts box and drop the blog title so that it’s centred in the black space at the top? I’m going for a really stripped down look.

Thanks for all your efforts, greatly appreciated.

Great theme, Zack!
I changed some things so it’s more similar to my original site http://www.nadir.it and it works fine.
Thanks a lot!

Hi – I’m working on a project and this theme seems really suitable for it.

However, the group I’m doing it really prefers a left hand sidebar. Do you have a version that offers that?

Thanks so much!

I like this theme, just wanted to ask (probably a silly question) but can I put my own banner up there?

@Marylin,
Sure, you can change everything as you like, just enjoy it.

@Viviane
Hi, Vivi, you can modify the css file of the theme to make this theme to be left sidebar, I am not planning to create a left sidebar for this theme recently.

Thanks, Zack, I will do that.

Zack I’m having the same problem with single.php.

The link above still points to 1.0.1. When I change it to black-n-white.1.0.2.zip, the zip file is empty, and I don’t have anyway to decrypt a .rar file.
Can you post the new file or, if the change was simple enough, just indicate what needs to be modified?

Other than this it’s a slick theme.

Thanks.

I’m using this theme on my blog but I’m real new at this. Did I make the wrong move putting this pic on my main page? Can I use it on single posts or not? Well, I like the way it looks though I don’t have the picture perfectly sized yet. (Just got tired of playing with it.) I like the theme, but just now found the link for the new version. Great to have it, thank you!

Hi

I have been happily using your theme except for the single post/breaking sidebar issue. When I try to download from this page, or from the link in the comments above, I seem to have the same issue.

Is there a fixed version?

@Dale,
You should download from my website after download here above. Or just download from this link: http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/BlacknWhite.rar

@Catherine,

I just started using it and I love it. :)

Only thing I’ve noticed so far is that the info at the bottom says “Gray Lines Theme by Zack” instead of, perhaps, “Black n White Theme by Zack”.

I’ll be making any changes I make available – probably not much I’d do though since I love clean layouts. ;)

Very cool theme. I want to use this theme to my new blog Drobon.com.

Hi Zack, i’m using this theme for my blog.. i love its simple layout and i love black. thanx a lot.

Hi Zack,
I really like your there, but I am not able to install it.
I tried uploading the .rar file that you had linked, but Wordpress doesn’t unzip rar and neither does my mac.
The Download link on top still goes to the 1.0.1 version.
Do help.
Thanks

@Dhirender try http://unrarx.com/

@Dhirender
The download link on top is the 1.0.2 version, you should download that .rar file, unzip on pc/mac, and then upload the folder to wp-content/themes/

Thanks Zack and Tricky,
Got it working. It’s on at my aquarium blog – http://www.afishytale.com

I have noticed 1 small bug though perhaps I just need to wait for the update to reflect on the autoupdater.

See the discussion at http://dogma.swiftspirit.co.za/archives/174/comment-page-1#comment-186

@Ttricky
Did you try to download the new version

I’ve updated to 1.0.2 manually and it appears to be rendering correctly now.

Hello Zach, great theme you have here! will you be so kind to post the patch file of the mod instead? I’ve made considerable mods on your theme already and i’m having difficulty seeing where the actual fix is. Thanks!

@Marku
I’d like to help you, but what do you mean “the patch file of the mod”?

@Tricky
That’s great, enjoy blogging, and I’d like to help if you got further question.

@Zack that would be a file containing just the difference between old code and the new. :) anyway, i traced it and found out it had something to do with single posts not having comments. what i did was simply move a <div> above a condition in the comments.php. everything seems to be okay now. thanks again! :)

hey, thank so much !

What a great theme! I love it very much.Thanks,Zack.But I think that there is a problem for me. How can I change the color of the article’s title?Some of them are not seen by guests.
(I’m from China,and my English is poor.)

Why do you leave the link to 1.0.1? Its very confusing when that one has an error with the sidebar.
Thanks anyway for the theme.

@bluskyer
You can edit the CSS file.

Hi Zack. This comment thing is starting to get a little spammy…

I’ve recently installed a few addons that recommended that wp_footer(); be run in footer.php. Without it, certain features don’t work. For example, Google Analyticator has a feature called “Footer tracking code” which puts the tracking code in the footer instead of the header which theoretically speeds up the page render. This isn’t likely to make a huge dent – but every bit counts.

If the option is enabled with the BlacknWhite theme as is, google analytics doesn’t work at all.

I’ve added the function in and it appears to be running fine without issue. See http://swiftspirit.co.za/downloads/footer.tgz where I’ve added the single line.

@Zack

Thanks for the fix. Loved the theme! I don’t think i’ll ever change it :)

Dear Zack,

I have one problem with this theme. The calendar doesn’t show the dates with entries in different color. I could not find where i can change that from. Would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Dear Motozen, you may need to modify the .CSS file to change the color of the calender.

@motozen that’s the only thing I hadn’t yet mentioned to Zack for my own blog since I forgot about it. Thx. :)

Otherwise, I’m busy making a background image. That’s probably the main thing that should be used with this theme to make it unique. :)

This is a simple and elegant theme, easy to modify css, but a serious glitch everyone should know about. Sidebar displays improperly on the single post pages. Simple to fix.

This is a great theme. Thanks. However I’ve recently noticed a small problem. I have a text widget in the sidebar that doesn’t display on all pages, only the home page. Is there any way to fix this?

having the side bar issue. uploaded your latest sidebar.php file to my server and doesnt seem to solve the issue. the funny thing is it only happens on new posts and only when im logged in as admin. Old posts look great. Any ideas?

never mind. I changed out the whole theme and it works now. thanks.

Hi,
I used your theme for my blog.However for some posts the formatting seems skewed.What could be the reason?

Hi, Sri,
You may try to download the theme again, I’ve upgrade it already.

I like it alot! Its simple!

Thanks a lot.

Have you noticed that in Firefox 3.5.1, the tagline appears behind grey bar where “Previous” & “Next” appear and behind the Sidebar, also? I’ve download version 1.0.2. using the link above

Zack,
It doesnt help :(, the sidebar is still skewed on viewing a single post.

Hi Zack!

I like this techified theme, without link on the footer, will you give the tutorial how to make it?

thanks

@Tony

Download the file below, and overwrite the one in the theme.

Thanks a lot zack, fantastic and great job.

@Tony
My pleasure to help.

Hello,

I’ve been working on my blog with this theme but I can’t figure out how to establish the searchform.php which was not in the file I downloaded. I can put the widget “search” but the tool isn’t there.

Could you please tell me how to fix that?

Thks,

M

Search form is now built in WordPress, just use:

< ?php get_search_form(); ?>

to get a search form.

Hi,
I use your theme for quite some time now on my blog. And really like it.

There is one problem though: The error page (404.php) for some reason has a black background, which makes the text (which is also black) a little hard to read.

Also the 404 page seams to still suffer from the ’sidebar below the content’ bug.

Hi (again),
there is one more thing I’d love to see fixed in a new version.

blockquotes don’t seem to have their own style, so on cannot distinguish them from normal post text.

simple theme, like it.

Hey Zack – Back to Tony’s request for help on the Techified theme you are using…but with a much improved copyright & credit to the author at the bottom. I downloaded the .rar you posted and overwrote the footer_content.php — but no change. Now there is just some .js stuff down at the bottom and I can’t find where to edit the text to get rid of all the cell phone plugs. Can you help? Would really appreciate!

@Jens Schauder
I noticed that, I will fixed it ASAP.

@Kathy
@Tony

Hi, Kathy, I think I understand about the .js stuff. It’s my fault, I forgot I added some Javascript for my blog, which is not necessary for most of other users. I’ve deleted it,and re-uploaded, you can download it again.

http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/footer_content.rar

Hmm..really nice theme. I’m using Blogger, but my other blogs are Wordpress.
Thank you dude!

Thank you very much, enjoy blogging, and let me know if you have any trouble with my themes.

Z -

Totally got rid of the .js stuff – thanks – but still can’t change the text pre-included in the theme because it’s encrypted inside of ‘footer.php’ – not footer_content.php. Erasing content of footer.php or trying to put in your own html just make the whole footer disappear. Can you share what your footer.php looks like to allow you to get rid of all that cell phone ad stuff? REALLY appreciate! :)

This is my footer file, may help you.

http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/footer.rar

Oh – I’m SO close! That footer.rar link came back with a 404 error page? I know you are taking a LOT of your time to help me – so THANK YOU in advance for all the trouble!!!!!!! :)

hey Zack, thanks for making this theme it’s perfect for what I’m doing. One small problem I have is that i can’t get rid of all the widgets. when I remove them I get a whole load by default. Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

@kathy, did you unzip the footer.rar?

@Dave, do you mean you want a black sidebar?

Hey Zack – the link for the footer.rar doesn’t let me download it — it just takes me to a 404 error page…is the file loaded in that August ‘09 uploads folder? Thanks!!!!

Hi!

Love your BlacknWhite theme, and trying to use it I’ve come to one “tweak” that I dont understand how I should do.

When you list the posts with the category or with the “archive” widget. The list of posts is only like the first 4-5 lines of the actual post.

is it possible to list the complete posts?. I’m trying to use it for a “portfolio” like blog and need the full posts to show up in the listings. I really hope you can help me out!

Br

Johan Falkman.

@Kathy, I am sorry, I uploaded to another folder, I’ve fixed it now, you can try to download it again.

@Johan Falkman

Yes, you can do that by open the archive.php, and find:

< ?php the_excerpt(); ?>

change it to

< ?php the_content(); ?>

you will get the full content.

Hi Zack. :( You uploaded footer_content.php and I think it’s footer.php that we’re after. We’re trying to get rid of the encrypted code that is in the footer.php file so that we can change the credits in the very bottom black bar and also add Google Analytics. :(

Thanks for the template. After long hours of searching for the right template for my blog, I have finally found the best one.

Again, thank you!
:)

Hi Zack! Any change you can post a copy of your footer.php file (not your footer_content.php)? I’m trying to get rid of the telephone ads and what not in the very bottom black footer bar like you have and it’s the footer.php file that appears to have all the encryption on it. I’m trying to use Google Analytics for my site and can’t install it into the footer with all that encryption on there. Thanks for the help!

This is my footer file:

http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/footer.rar

This is my footer_content file:

http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/footer_content.rar

You should unzip these two file and replace with the ones in the techified theme folder.

This is the techified theme which I am using, but you need to know I know using the slider function:

http://zacklive.com/wp-content/uploads/techified.rar

Wish this can help you.

HI thanks for the theme working out real well. One problem though. When I try adding my adsense code in the single.php file the whole pages disappears. Is there a easy way to add adsense above every post? Thank you

Hi Rick,

You may try to use WordPress plugin for Adsense, I am using Adman, which is simple and easy to use.
