    Hello … Now I have been sitting almost 8 hours strait trying to find out why none of my themes work on the multi-site setup…
    I have added them to /public_html/wp-content/themes
    And I can see them in superadmin and at the backend in my blogs.
    I can also activate them under Appearence – Themes
    It loads parts of the theme, but I seams like stylesheet and some pictures don’t load…?
    I have tried several themes…. So no I have not contacted each Themes provider….

    Yes I have enabled the network themes in Super Admin!
    I use Sub-domains with wildcard * subdomains @ HostGator
    I do not use WordPress MU Domain Mapping

    I don’t understand way it doesn’t show in the right way.
    Is there something wrong with the mapping/rewrite?
    Or do I have to change the path some ware..?

    I’m sure there are others out there with the same problem.

    Ps: I also did a complete reinstall of WordPress

    My .htaccess file is set to:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    My wp-config.php is set to:

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
    define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
    $base = ‘/’;
    define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘blogedyblogs.com’ );
    define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
    define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
    define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    Hope for a clarifying response soon..

    That’s indicative of your .htaccess not being read correctly. Check with your host, cause it looks right.

    I took a look at hostgators support forum.
    http://support.hostgator.com/articles/getting-started/wordpress-mu

    It seams like its set up right…
    I hope installing themes will be corrected on the next upgrade of WordPress, because I think many have the same problem.

    It’s not WordPress, it’s your server.

    Seriously. This IS a common problem, but it ALWAYS boils down to your .htaccess not being read correctly.

    Ask hostgator. Tell them, specifically, ‘Hey, I set up my htaccess but it’s not reading correctly and my themes aren’t rendering CSS correctly. Can you fix this?’

    Okay … thanks for a very good forum with quick answers 🙂

    I spoke with hostgator and the problem is resolved. They logged in for me and looked at the setup. And it now seems like it’s okay 🙂

    I really wish they’d tell us WHAT they did, cause I’m sick of saying ‘Ask your host to magically fix it.’ It would be MUCH easier if we could say ‘Oh yeah, change this setting.’ *sigh* If you find out what they did, please let us know!

    I’ll tell if I find out …

    But do you have any recommendation with Themes that needs a change in the database two work?

    Nor should you steer clear of these when there is one database for all pages?

    I’ve never had conflicts with any theme and MultiSite. Which doesn’t say much cause I use themes from really good, reputable, designers 🙂

    But do you have any recommendation with Themes that needs a change in the database two work?

    This was NOT an issue with the theme – as ipstenu stated. unless the them itself wasn’t set properly in the db, which could be what they fixed.

    I can count on one hand themes that didn’t work on multisite and WPMU.

    but if a theme needs new database tables … Is It Safe two inject them sins it is just one database for all the blogs?

    If theme needs new database tables, it will insert them on activation of the theme itself. IF the author coded it correctly.

    Did you set a different theme as the default?

    what do you mean by “default”? no idea how I do that …

    what is the reason that you should set it as “default”?

    Setting a different (that Twenty Ten) theme as default means all NEW sites get the different theme, instead of Twenty Ten.

    Thread Starter Sorro

    (@sorro)

    ok but how do I set the default theme? users can select a different theme, default is only the theme of the network …?

    The reason I was asking was because all sites use twentyTen – the default theme – when a new site is created. IT WORKS. It also has no issues with multisite, it works fine.

    That’s why we’re saying repeatedly it’s not the themes. It was your server.
