How to restrict all blogs to use one theme? (3 posts)

    Hi,

    I just installed WPMU 2.9.2. I installed a new theme called "WP Premium"
    Then I went to SITE ADMIN -> THEMES and disabled all other themes and activated "WP Premium" theme.
    Now when a user comes to my site and register for blog, it still shows Wordpress default theme even though I have disabled it along with others from SITE ADMIN -> THEMES!!

    I want every new user to use "WP Premium" theme so how do I do that.
    I thought may be deleting WP default theme will solve the problem so I did but now it is showing blank page on all user blogs since WP is looking for this theme which is not available. So each user has to go to his own admin panel and activate "WP Premium" theme.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    You're not setting a new default theme is the problem. :)

    MU looks for whatever theme is in the /default/ folder. It doesn;t care what themes are enabled when it creates a blog, at least not with regard to the theme it sets.

    Set the new theme with this.
