WordPress MU

   This is my first WPMU installation (2.8.4a). I'm used to standard WP.

   I've run straight into a problem with the themes. I cannot seem to change the theme from the Kubrick default - even to the other "classic" theme that comes with the installation, let alone any that I upload.

   I don't know if my installation has got a fault or I'm missing something.

   I've tried selecting a different overall theme from the Appearance menu, or deselecting all from the WPMU-specific menu and then selecting a theme per blog - all this still results in the default one being used - I'm stuck with it!

   When I try to select a theme specifically for a blog, it allows me to tick more than one - how would this work?!

   Any guidance much appreciated.

   Just in case someone else stumbles across this:

   Theme must first be activated sitewide under the Site Admin -> Themes menu.

   Or, if you go to Site Admin -> Blogs, then Edit a blog, deactive themes will appear on the right with checkboxes. In this way, you can approve a theme for just one blog.

   THEN you can go look at the Appearance menu. :D

   I've never seen it not exist on the user dashboard of a user that has rights to change the theme. The user must be a blog administrator in order to change the theme. Are you sure that the user you're testing with is at that level?

   I'm having the same problem trying to change a theme for a add on blog...any suggestions or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?
   ------------
   Update: nevermind, found the problem. If anyone else is having the same problem go to:
   1. Go to the "Dashboard" in the top left hand corner of your Panel
   2. Select "My Blogs"- this will give you a list of your blogs
   3. You will have an option to either select "Visit|Dashboard", Select the "Dashboard" under that Blog
   4. Select Appearance, Themes, and add the new theme. :)
