Description

From Ray:

it appears
we have two copies of the Basic theme tracked in the repo with the same
slug:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/blob/master/wp-content/themes/Basic/style.css
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/blob/master/wp-content/themes/basic/style.css

One is by Elegant Themes, the other by Themify.

Can we remove one of them?

I've noticed this problem before, but never tried diagnosing or fixing it.

Before making any changes, we should figure out how this happened - which theme was added first, etc. Then, we see which sites are running 'basic', and which of the Basics is actually being loaded. Ray, can you have a look?

I installed the Multisite Enhancements plugin temporarily to see what sites those basic themes were activated on.

Here are the results:

  • Basic (Elegant Themes) used by site IDs 738, 768, 1129, 1242, 1243, 1279, 1627. Added February 3, 2011.
  • basic (Themify) is not activated, but used as a parent theme for gclibrary. Added
    August 11, 2015.

I would probably recommend renaming the slug from Themify since it only affects one site.

Hm. On balance, I'm not sure why we need to do anything, since everything seems to be working fine.

If the folder names bother you, please go ahead and change the Themify one. You'll also need to change the 'Parent' header of the child theme. This'll also require a post-release action, since the 'template' option on the gclibrary site will no longer point to a valid theme. Go ahead and stick this in a milestone if you care enough to attend to these tasks :)

Fair enough :)
