May have figured it out. I copied part of an index file from another theme that worked, and pasted it into the Blue Black Theme. Here is the working index file. May not be perfect, but is doing the job.

<?php
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_settings( $value[‘id’] ) === FALSE) { $$value[‘id’] = $value[‘std’]; } else { $$value[‘id’] = get_settings( $value[‘id’] ); } }
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

<!–content–>
<div id=”content”>

<!–left-col–>
<div id=”left-col”>

<!–post–>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h3 class=”storytitle”>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”meta”><?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?> <?php the_category(‘,’) ?> — <?php the_tags(__(‘Tags: ‘), ‘, ‘, ‘ — ‘); ?> <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit This’)); ?></div>

<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
</div>

<div class=”feedback”>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</div>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”post-bg-down”></div>

<div class=”navigation”>
<?php posts_nav_link(”,'<span class=”previous”>Previous</span>’,'<span class=”next”>Next</span>’) ?>
</div>

</div><!–left-col-end–>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!–content-end–>

</div><!–wrapper-end–>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

FWIW: If anyone else if having this problem with Blue-Black. I may have found the solution. Using Arronjuk’s advice, I copied the index file from the Classic Theme and used part of it in the Blue Black Index file. Here is what I have: Not perfect but seems to be working fine.

<?php
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if (get_settings( $value[‘id’] ) === FALSE) { $$value[‘id’] = $value[‘std’]; } else { $$value[‘id’] = get_settings( $value[‘id’] ); } }
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

<!–content–>
<div id=”content”>

<!–left-col–>
<div id=”left-col”>

<!–post–>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h3 class=”storytitle”>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”meta”><?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?> <?php the_category(‘,’) ?> — <?php the_tags(__(‘Tags: ‘), ‘, ‘, ‘ — ‘); ?> <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit This’)); ?></div>

<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
</div>

<div class=”feedback”>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</div>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”post-bg-down”></div>

<div class=”navigation”>
<?php posts_nav_link(”,'<span class=”previous”>Previous</span>’,'<span class=”next”>Next</span>’) ?>
</div>

</div><!–left-col-end–>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!–content-end–>

</div><!–wrapper-end–>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

**Hope this helps all of you !

Hey Arronjuk – I’m glad to hear someone has finally figured a way to fix this theme. I am having the same problem with Blue Black here on my end. https://riptidemma.com.

Can you please show what code you copied so I can attempt to fix mine too?

Do you find the theme is still working fine?

Thanks,
Ryan

Visit the Demo Theme Site, then View – Page Source, from there you can see the un-encoded footer to copy, and edit.

This was for Theme Blue Black 2.7.5 by the way…

thank you so much for the info. looking at the HTML source in the demo was the best advice. never thought of that!
