# Theme Issue with WordPress Multisite

 * There is a problem with using Max Mega Menu on a multisite instance. Even though
   the plugin is activated on a per site basis, the themes appear to be shared amongst
   all the sites on the network. This means that site admins can change the styling
   for sites that they do not own.
 * Is there an easy way to remedy this?

 * Hi Jsci,
 * Thanks for reporting this.
 * This is an old issue that goes back to the very first version of MMM – I did 
   not properly understand the impact of using get_site_option vs get_option. The
   problem is that some people will be relying on this bug in order to share themes
   across their network, so it’s not as easy as just correcting it, as I will likely
   break some peoples sites.
 * Unfortunately there is no quick fix for it. I will add a switch into the next
   version (likely a line required in wp-config.php, something like define(“MEGAMENU_SHARE_THEMES_ACROSS_NETWORK”,
   false)) to work around this.
 * Regards,
    Tom

 * Tom,
 * This is truly an example where a bug becomes an undocumented feature. I totally
   understand not wanting to break it for users that actually like/need this capability.
   I look forward to your update with the option to turn of the theme sharing.
 * Kind regards,
 * John

 * Hi John,
 * I’ve just updated the development version which will allow you to add this to
   your wp-config.php file:
 * `define('MEGAMENU_SHARE_THEMES_MULTISITE', false);`
 * Please try installing the dev version from the bottom of this page:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/advanced/)
 * Your previously saved theme(s) will disappear from the interface as soon as you
   add that line (but you can get them back by removing that line again). So first
   export your theme, then edit wp-config.php, then import your theme.
 * Regards,
    Tom
