Hello, I’m trying to get some help with the default theme. I searched forms but can’t seem to find the issue addressed anywhere.  Note I did post this on wordpress support forums. sorry for duplication, I really need some help. thanks.

I installed cbox and chose the cbox-theme. first thing, it installed on the MAIN site and overrode my theme!

I changed that and went to the subsite and activated the theme there. I have the theme running on subsite. however,

1. cbox settings still says I’m using XX theme (which is on mainsite) and cbox-theme not installed. not a major issue as it is working on subsite with one exception…

2. no homepage widgets at all, widgets for forums, groups, wiki etc all available.

3. no site features for homepage slider in admin dashboard. homepage template when selected displays location for slider, but not option to use site features

help really appreciated.

This is an interesting issue to solve; I have a few follow-up questions:

1. Did you install BuddyPress before you installed CBOX?
2. Is your BuddyPress community set up on the main site or on your secondary site? If it is on the secondary site, did you add a line of code that looks like this?

define( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', YOUR_SITE_ID );

CBOX currently looks in the main site to install your theme, but your report indicates that we should probably look at wherever BP is installed on the WP network.

Let me know.

thanks for the response. buddypress was installed prior to cbox.  it was working on a subsite with a child theme of the default theme.  and I do have the line of code added you indicated, that’s how I got BP to work on the subsite.

I also wondered if it’s possible to install the cbox theme the same as any regular theme? I have no issues with any other theme on the network. I tried to find it on wordpress repository, to test if that’s the issue. I take it it’s not there? perhaps that would  be a fix for the moment. I don’t want to change the theme, that’s  why I switched the theme. the layout makes so much sense, having to customize another one to get the same effect :-(.

thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the additional info. I’ll add a check for multisite and that should address this issue.

In a WordPress network, you’ll have to network-enable theme across your site:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin_Themes_Screen

Network-enable the CBOX Theme and it should be available to all your sub-sites on your network.

Hope that helps.
