Same way as I note above – deactivate it under Site Admin -> Themes. This keeps it from showing up in the Appearance menu.

It will NOT change it on your blog.

How do you keep your users from having your default theme though? This is super easy, but I want to have my theme separate from the rest of them.

Thanks.

Great site.. I have to say that I don´t know where to even start. But I am sure that I will find my way around here.
My biggest problem is that I get frustrated when I don’t see things happening right away.. and I am a hands on type of person meaning I leave the reading to only when I am stuck. That is if I don’t delete the whole thing..

Yep, it’s mostly testing. Put it on your MU site, but enable it just for a single test blog. Then just activate it on that blog and give it a look-over. There’s no MU-specific template tags, so all you’re really looking for is plugin dependencies & hardcoded elements that users can’t change.

I’m sure I wrote about it in here somewhere.

Andrea,

Kudos, you seem to be all over when I am looking at tips, so you get another question.

How do I test a themes compatibility with WP MU to ensure that it will behave as expected ?

Is this a case of purely testing ? I’m looking at bpurchasing a custom theme, but have no experience on MU.

thanks

Paul

I don’t see why we should even bother renaming the new theme to default.

You have to change the settings in the site admin settings. There is an option on the right hand side that allows you to make it in the available themes for the users.

Nice! I love it – one more question -

How can I have a theme enabled for my blog (the main blog), but not allow users to see it when they can select their themes? I don’t want them to have my theme…
