Cannot change theme (3 posts)

    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.

    I'm being dim and have now worked it out.

    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
