    Hello Charmaine Chitate,

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    You have assigned this ticket to our “Multisite Theme Manger” plugin. Do you mean “setting up the theme” as in configuration of Multisite Theme Manager plugin to change theme information/details?

    If yes, can you please:

    – tell me what information (and to what) do you want to change?

    – tell me what kind of issues did you encounter when you tried to do this?

    – enable support access to the site so I could take a look at this?

    In order to enable support access please go to “WPMU DEV -> Support” page in your site’s back-end and click on “Grant support access” button there and let me know when it’s active.

    If I misunderstood you and your request is actually about setting up a theme and configuring theme options/customizing theme to your needs, especially including some customization, please note that we’re not providing custom services of that kind: https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/getting-support/#chapter-1

    In that case you might want to ask on our “Jobs & Pros” job board (please note: no WPMU DEV staff involved there!) here:

    Kind regards,

    Adam

    Hi Adam

    If possible can I send my admin detail for you to set up the default them that way I don’t have to edit each and every site? All sites will use the same theme and it’s not going to change.

    I would like to have all sites use the NEWSPAPER theme I have on the mainsite. I only want to edit the theme on the main site and have the changes automatically rollover onto the other websites.

    You understood correctly, I will do my own theme customization but i need the theme activated across the networks so that my edits apply to the network and not just one site.

    I have granted support access. Please let me know if you move the theme into another folder that way which folder to update.

    P/s: Thank for let letting me know about the back end access feature- didn’t know it was there :slight_smile:

    Hi Charmaine Chitate,

    Multisite Theme Manager is a plugin that allows you to customize the theme information on your subsites so it doesn’t use the values defined by the theme itself but rather your own custom information.

    I’m afraid that it doesn’t allow to globally change the active theme on your subsites.

    For your existing subsites you will need to access each site and activate Newspaper theme separately for each of them.

    However, what you can do for new subsite is to define different theme to be used as a default one.

    You can do this by adding below code inside your wp-config.php file just above line:

    define('WP_DEFAULT_THEME', 'themename');

    You change “themename” placeholder with the name of your desired theme and any newly registered subsites will use that theme instead of the WP Default one.

    Hope this helps :slight_smile:

    Best regards,

    Predrag
