Menu Missing for Multisite

treeleaf20 — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 18:05:16 +0000

Hello,
I just made my WordPress install a multisite installation. I’m trying to create a menu on one of my new sites and when I go to to the Appearance section in the Admin I’m expecting to see Menus but the only options available are Themes and Customize.

How can I add a menu for a multisite install?

Thanks!

I should also clarify, that if I use the regular X theme the Menu option is displayed but if I use the child Integrity light option, no menu option.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in and sorry to hear about your issue,

Did you have a user role and capabilities plugin? and did you try using a super admin user and verify if you can’t still see the menu?

Would you mind providing URL of your site for us to check on your set-up,

I have a development running under multi site and can’t see any problem with it,

Have a great day

I didn’t install any plugins that would control user roles/capabilities. I copied over the whole framework folder into my child theme. I’m working on the site from my localhost for now so you can’t check on the set up for now. Like I said, if I switch over to the X theme the Menu bar appears but as soon as I switch back to the child Integrity theme the Menus/Widgets/Sidebars all disappear. I actually also lose all of X Addons menu as well when I switch to the Child Theme instead of the regular X theme. I’m not sure what could be causing that.

Hey there,

Please try to setup the minimum only for your child theme (not the whole framework). See http://theme.co/x/member/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/ for instructions.

Thanks.

Thanks, I copied the whole framework because I wanted some new templates so I copied the frame work and then I had to copy some of the template files to do this. Should I only have replicated these files in my child theme and left the rest of the framework files in the main theme? What is the best way to create a new template file within this theme?

Hey there,

You need to copy only the template files you need. Please see http://theme.co/x/member/kb/customization-best-practices/ to learn how to customize X.

Thanks.

I actually figured this one out on why it was doing that. Within my wp-config.php file I had added the following two lines for new sites to try and make the child theme the active version instead of the default twentyfourteen one and then getting an error for the new sites. Here is what I was trying to do:

define('WP_DEFAULT_THEME', 'x-child-integrity-light');
define( 'TEMPLATEPATH', 'wp-content/themes/x');

This leads me to a follow up question, how can I make my child theme be the default theme for a new multisite and two how can I have the same options from the customizer for every new site that is created? Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi Treeleaf,

It should be just the same 🙂

Cheers!
