  • Talk to your host.

    Also try switching themes on the main site.

    Are you literally in the admin area of a sub site and you get this when activating a theme? (just double checking)

    I spoke to my host, they said its a wordpress issue. Do you have any ideas what this could be so I can lead them in some direction?

    Yes I am in the admin area of a sub site when I am activating a theme.

    Also, it gives the error but the theme does successfully switch – so should I just ignore the error?

    For now, yes. But the error is clearly stating it’s an issue with the server itself. If you’re on a bottom-line hosting account that could be why.

    what does that mean bottom-line hosting? I am using Network Solutions.

    A cheap host that over sells their space.

    Isnt Network Solutions considered one of the “serious hosts”?

    Eeeh.

    I have a single site on them and no problems. MultiSite generally needs a bit more oomph in a server, and I don’t know offhand how good they are for that.

    The error you’re getting is one that says ‘Hi, this server isn’t capable of running MultiSite.’ which is pretty dumb of them to say it’s WordPress. I mean, it’s not even WP error.

    By bottom line I mean a general shared host where you got the lowest price package. Basically anything under $10/ month.
