What is the equivalent to The Silver is the New Black Theme.
-
I have a couple of blogs using The Silver is the New Black Theme.
I would like to find the nearest equivalent to this or create a new blog using it (It is obsolete).
I have tried quite a few but cannot find any that will support 1000px images directly on posted images, they all seem to reduce to something like 700px. Can you point me in the right direction.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m not sure why but when I search for this theme under one of my sites it comes up fine, but when I try from another it doesn’t show up.
If you are trying to access it for your stillsv3.wordpress.com site you should be able to access it by going to
https://stillsv3.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=pub%2Fsilver-blackIf not replace the stillsv3 with which ever account you are trying to use this theme with.

That’s because it’s a very old retired theme. Themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.com features. If a retired theme has been used on a blog in the past it can be accessed at Appearance >Themes and installed again on that specific blog. If the blog is new then a retired theme cannot be accessed there and installed on the blog. -

There are 27 free photography themes here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/photography/?sort=free
There are 46 premium (paid) photography themes here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/photography/?sort=premium -

I knew it was no longer accessible. I have two blogs that use it and I’d like the nearest equivalent that is still available for a new blog. The feature that I liked was the ability to show images at circa 1000px wide without causing format problems. Those Themes which look promising in the descriptions seem to limit the display to 700 px within the blog, the full size image is accessible with extra clicks.

I read that but I’m not willing to scroll through all the possible choices and find the dimensions you want. I’m sorry but I’m multitasking from my business while volunteering so you will have to do that on your own.

OK Thanks. Is there a quick way of looking at specs? I have actually test loaded several that looked promising only to find they did not fulfil early promise.
Thanks for letting me be your distraction :-)

There is no filter for maximum displayed image width specs. Sorry. There is an outdated list that does not include the newer themes at http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/

Thanks,
I’ll look at that,
you carry on with your work……..:-)
I appreciate your time and support. -
-
Thanks. I was able to use that list to find several Themes that allowed 1024 px and still existed, and were free :-)
-
Hooray! That’s great news. Do you mind telling me what the theme’s names are, so I can bookmark this thread and use it in the future when other bloggers look for the same thing?

This is the list I created. I was looking for over 900px.

I don’t understand why the max image width isn’t put in the short form spec. -
Thanks so much for sharing. Every one of those is an older theme.
You may want to try newer themes like
Expound – The main column width is 700 except in the full-width layout where it’s 960.
Responsive – The main column width is 605 except in the full-width layout where it’s 918
