Nope they work the same.
What’s the issue, specifically? Can you link to your site?
I added both the child and parent themes to the theme folder and network activated both. Now when I activate this child theme for a blog created in multisite, something goes wrong and I can’t visit the blog. I mean, when I click: Visit site, I get to a blank page but the URL in address bar is the correct one which is same as the one that showed the default theme.
Blank page is a PHP error. Means your child theme may be borked.
, I get to a blank page
A blank white page or an unstyled page? Both of those are different problems.
Can you give me a link?
It is a total Blank white page and I am testing multisite on a local server that is not having a registered domain so can’t give you a link.
Blank page like that, completely white, is a php error.
Check your error logs.
Thank you so much andrea.You solved my issue. I checked in the log file and found that there was some unnecessary line in the code. I removed it and now am all set.
Hi Andrea. I’m reading some of your forum posts on the WP Forum about “Multisite & themes.” (I’m trying to learn how to effectively duplicate what’s on the main site to the new subsite.)
I see where in each of my site’s Admin there are Theme controls. My main site is fine. However, it uses a child theme, and the main site is set to that child theme.
However, when I apply the same child theme to the sub site, all I get is child theme attributes — the parent theme seems to be ignored. If I select the Parent theme, then I don’t get any of the child theme attributes.
So, do you know how I can get the sub site to use both the parent and child themes?
I now see that, actually, the sub site is accessing the stye sheets of both parent and child. However, the child templates don’t appear to connect. When I go into the sub site’s Settings > Reading the Front page and Post page selector does not show any of the templates that are in the main site.

I’ve found my problem. I’ll retire now.
