  Hi All

  First time poster here.

  Im looking for a 4.1 compatible theme in a Newsletter or Community style for a village community based website and wonder if someone could make some suggestions?

  Ive searched quite extensively but havent found much for v4.1 and im unsure if there is a backwards compatability issue as there is with phpBB.

  Many thanks in advance.
  Nigel

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog here http://nigelmchugh99.wordpress.com/ are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  Relevant support docs:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  You cannot upload any third party themes into a WordPress.COM hosted blog so be clear on that. There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  Be aware that we provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. Read the differences here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are not referring to a WordPress.COM hosted blog we cannot help you. So if that is the case then and you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
