I'm running WordPress multisite 3.1.3. I am using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-plugin-manager/ to manage plugins. I want something pretty much exactly like that for Themes.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-themes/ is darn close but it's for networks.
I've got two main types of users that signup. I want to be able to enable/disable themes en mass (or just by default) depending on what type of user they are.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks much
Are you running multiple networks? You can manage themes per site on a single network built in.
http://domain.com/wp-admin/network/themes.php
You can activate themes sitewide there.
Or if you don't want that, go to wp-admin/network/sites.php and EDIT the site. You can activate/deactivate themes per site.
Themes are based on *sites* - not users.

Ipstenu, I know those two methods. I'm running a single network. I've got about 150 themes, and I just don't like having to check or uncheck access to that many themes, for every single site. Some users get access to one theme, some get access to all 150. So a full network activation doesn't work, and doing it site by site is incredibly tedious.
Andrea, I know themes are based on sites and not users. The multisite plugin manager works just like I want - it allows me to activate a large number of themes for all new sites, but it doesn't force me to do a network activate, which means I can deactivate the ones I don't want a site to have access to. That's not the ideal solution at this point, but it's a ton easier having to activate on an individual basis.
And maybe to reword what I said before, users will basically use two types of sites - one that has access to just one theme, and one that has access to all the themes. So I'm not saying it's a user based thing, so much it's a choice users make on which type of site they want.
(And to clarify even greater if you're trying to figure out what I'm doing, I run all of my WP sites on one instance. Sometimes I build a custom theme or supply a theme on an individual basis. Sometimes the person wants to do the choosing for themselves and they sift through all the themes and pick one.)
Thanks.
Then you're going to eed a custom solution.
This might help make packages based on your user type.

Thanks Andrea. That's close to what I'm looking for, but I'm trying to use the s2Member plugin for the time being for some of the other stuff. Guess I'll have to go custom.
