WordPress MU

Per blog theme setting suddenly stopped working after upgrade to 2.8.1a. No matter how many times I click the checkbox next to theme name and save, the changes are not saved.

Does anyone know which MYSQL entry has this information? Since I can't change via the admin page, I'd like to try if I can manually set via phpmyadmin.

Hm...works for me. But, it's not totally intuitive. It enables themes for a specific blog that are disabled site-wide. So, if you have all your themes enabled site-wide, then using site admin > blogs > edit > theme isn't going to do anything. (I'm assuming that's the real path you're talking about, right?)

Anyway, the value is stored in that blogs options tables, so in wp_[blogid]_options table look for an option called "allowed themes." Here's an example of allowing the Andreas theme:

a:1:{s:12:"wp-andreas01";s:2:"on";}

I found out the database entry last night, but the entry looks encrypted to me. :-)

Does anybody know what each number means?

a:1:{s:12:"wp-andreas01";s:2:"on";}

a:1:{s:12:"wp-andreas01";s:2:"on";}

That is a smart query, or a PHP-serialized list of values. You can use the PHP function unserialize to break that back down into its original form and manipulate it. Then serialize it again and store it in the database.

"s:12:"wp-andreas01""

String coming up:12 characters in length "wp-andreas01" (which has 12 characters)

So, s:2:"on" mean a strin gof 2 characters, with a value of "on".

Your problem is the entire sub-blog is not working.

If the post is showing up on the main blog, then you're on the main blog.

If you have a subdomain setup, then on a local machine you need to create the subdomains.

Hello sir,
In my case I use subdirectory instead of sub domain. All other things works fine , but the real problem is I cannot change the theme of each blog . I have 2 blogs already , one is Default one created on the installation of wordpress and second blog named "test" , I created for the
test purpose. In my themes Directory I have 3 themes named classic,default and home. In addition to this I add some more themes
named emptiness,opposed,wp-andreas01,comment-central. When I go to
site Admin >> Themes I can view all these one with Active Status No.
In Appearance > Theme I can view two themes Current theme as "WordPress Classic 1.5 by Dave Shea" and Available Theme as "WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann".
