Changing Default Template for ALL set ups

    Okay – I have the WP network set up (subdomains).

    I deleted the twenty-ten template from the entire system as I have installed a new one that I want as the default theme…

    This is a “network” but is exclusively for ME, no one else using it, so I want all pages to look exactly the same.

    However, when I create a new “site”, the page is blank because it’s looking for the default twentyten.

    WHERE do I change that in the system itself so that it ALWAYS has the template I set as its default?

    I looked in the database, but I don’t think that it automatically assigns it from there.

    Any suggestions?

    I’m going to have several hundred of these subdomains and to manually go in and change some of these things is going to be a ROYAL pain and time waster.

    Update: I actually figured out where to change the default of that… but I am still trying to figure out where to change the “Just another WordPress Blog” Code.

    Any ideas there?

    You need to edit your wp-config.php to include this:

    define('WP_DEFAULT_THEME', 'twentyten');

    Where you change ‘twentyten’ to the folder name of your theme 🙂

    That’s called the tagline.
    Woudl have been way easier if you had installed this plugin:

    before making all your extra sites.

    Thanks Andrea_r 🙂

    Haven’t made all the sites yet, so I’ve downloaded this.

    For some reason it doesn’t work 🙁

    Look under Super Admn -> Options. I think there’s a setting there to change it.

    I always mis-remember where this is.

    Yep… but the problem is, even though that’s the default set, the system still created new sites with the twentyten default. (Stupid, it must be hard coded somewhere – which if I recall it is, but I couldn’t find it).

    In the past I’d tried deleting twentyten and setting the new theme as the only theme there and default, and then every site I created was totally blank. So – this would be something that would be great for the guys to fix!

    Anyway – I found a plugin I bought from premium.wpmu.org a little while ago that sets everything properly, and I mean everything 🙂

    Thanks.

    Did you do that?

    Yep 🙂 I found it from a search and had done that as well.

    Well… that’s the ONLY thing that governs what default theme to use. Unless you have a plugin conflicting with it.

    Because you removed the default theme.

    Even if you only leave one theme available, it will not go pick it. You *need* that define there.

    Or, the plugin we stated.

    caveat: were you using a child theme?
