 * Hi, cannot search the forum to see if this is already answered…
    I just installed
   wordpressmu in a new subdomain on one of my sites
 * I went in to upload my premium theme and I have no access to that. Only the default
   theme is there and no add new button or anything.
 * As far as I know, the login, the only one I can access, is a superuser account(
   default?).
 * What am I missing??
 * Rik

 * Hey there,
 * If you’re using WordPress Multisite you first need to network activate the theme
   before you can activate it on any subsites. Site admins won’t see those themes
   until they’re network activated:
 * Admin –> Network –> Themes
 * You can also add them from there too, you can’t add them from subsites. Multisite
   is designed like WP.com where people signup for their own site, you wouldn’t 
   want them uploading their own code because that would be dangerous for you.

 * Hope this helps.
 * Take care.

 * Can you show me a screenshot of your network admin themes area:
 * /wp-admin/network/themes.php
 * And then of:
 * /wp-admin/themes.php
 * For plugins, if you network activate those then they will not show in the plugins
   area of the sub site, they are activated and cannot be deactivated by site admins.
   Some plugins can only be network activated, some plugins when network activated
   only appear in the network area with settings. It depends.
 * Take care.
