WordPress Multisite -activated theme, site and dashboard broken
Hi,
I successfully turned a theme into multisite. Everything was running great. I wanted to change the theme of the main site (I only have one site so far). The new theme is based on twentyeleven. I changed all the references to twentyeleven to my-new-theme. I ftp'd my-new-theme to the server, activated it, and the site and dashboard crashed.
I then went into phpadmin ran this:
SELECT *
FROM wp_options
WHERE option_name = 'template'
OR option_name = 'stylesheet'
OR option_name = 'current_theme';
and changed it back to Twenty Eleven, twentyeleven, twentyeleven.
Still broken. I can't access the dashboard or the front end.

Thanks Ray - child themes won't work for what I'm trying to accomplish but there seemed to be no other option -at least with multisite- then to uninstall multisite, activate my new them, then reinstall multisite.
Yeah, WordPress has something of a "WordPress Way" of doing things, and it's not always the way a professional programmer would expect :-(
Best of luck with it anyway, ~Ray
