sounds good to me.

Boone,

I'm starting on this now, hoping that it's one of those tickets I can start and knock right out.

I'll update here as soon as I've got a potential fix.

Boone,

I've been looking into first updating the plugin hiding function we already have to also hide themes. But where class-wp-plugins-list-table.php uses the all_plugins filter when preparing the table for the admin (which is how we're removing unwanted plugins), class-wp-themes-list-table.php uses wp_get_themes() instead.

At first I thought this would make it harder since there's no easy to access filter. But it reminded me that themes can be shown to users on a site by site basis when running WPMS. Wouldn't the correct way to go in this situation be to Network Deactivate the theme and only enable it on the above 48 sites? That would allow it to be used by existing sites but keep it hidden from all others. It is also something we can accomplish on the live site now without having to wait for new code to get released on the 11th.

Let me know if I'm missing something here. This seems like the WP way to do this, rather than code up another function that removes things from the admin. In the plugin situation we had no choice - here I think we do.

No prob, I'll do this today. One quick question first though:

I'm curious (worried) that Network Disabling the theme might cause an inadvertent problem with the above 48 sites. Do you think they will revert back to the default theme (twentytwelve) once Atahualpa becomes unavailable network wide? I'm wondering if I need to make the theme available to each of the above sites individually AFTER Network Disabling it? Some of them are kinda large and high profile.

I'm 99% sure that Network Disable just removes it from the Themes screen on individual blogs. It does not deactivate the theme where it's already in use.

You may want to test this out on your local, just to be sure.

will do, I'll mark this as resolved when I'm done.
