dario 20 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 I'm configuring a multisite install and run into a problem where the child site admin can't change themes or widgets. No restrictions are on that user and all plugins are disabled. The solution, or so I've read is to change the edit_themes to edit_themes_options in the theme's functions.php file. Neither the base theme nor main framework has the edit_themes line of code. Ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon 248 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 A child admin does not have file permissions in wordpress, only the network admin does. Do you really want a sub admin editing theme/plugin files and taking your entire network offline with a syntax error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dario 20 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 No, and good point. I'm trying to give them access to a widget. As far as I can tell, they need Appearance > Widget access but don't have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon 248 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 Widgets should be accessible to site admins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dario 20 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 I thought so too, but they aren't. The Appearance menu has no flyout and goes right to the Base theme manage themes page. I now see that it happens when using 2012 as well so it's clearly outside of PL. Should have checked that first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
