I just had something similar happen today – I used wordpress 2.8.4 to find the theme for one of my sites, I then did the in-app install, and the page I got was way off from what I see on another site I have with the same theme.
I went to the author’s home page and noticed he had a newer version of the theme (1.6), I downloaded that, unzipped it.
Then in wordpress I changed the theme back to the default.
next I FTP’d into my site and deleted the old arclite folder in the themes folder.
I then uploaded the new (v1.6) version of the theme, re-enabled it from wordpress and its been working great!
MintCondition –
Thanks a bunch for posting this!
This was my exact problem (including 1and1)
your post saved me at least an hour of further research.
Thanks!
