Themes All Appearing as the Same Theme – Even When Switching

  • I’m running a multisite, just started it out, I’m no beginner, but I’m stumped. Since it is a multi-site, I am posting in this forum. I haven’t enabled registration yet, thank God, however, I don’t even know how to explain this issue.

    I am running genesis metro pro on the top domain, however I installed a plugin, to enable a mobile menu, like a moron, I could have just coded it myself, anyhow, it made the menus ugly to say the least.

    I removed it, I deleted the plugin via ftp, and the hamburger ugliness still appeared. So, I switched themes, disabled all plugins, even disabled menus period… now to get to the point. When i Switched themes, A – customizer didn’t work, I don’t care, I don’t use it, but my future enduser might.

    Second, all themes are appearing the same. Meaning, I choose divi for example or x, and they are all appearing as metro-pro (which I love), I don’t have it network enabled because I customized the hell out of it, however i’m stumped. I deleted all themes, including my child theme, I manually removed their remnants via ftp, i cleaned out the database, and reuploaded all themes, and still am stuck with the hamburger menu, and the theme issue… they are all the same. I checked css files and templates, they are definitely very different, however, when changing themes, they appear as one.

    That’s the best I can do to explain this very odd issue. I have root access, It’s my server, yes I purged the cache, purged cdn cache… Went through the whole nine yards.

    Lastly, opening up my site in safari, no issue with redirection. In chrome, redirect loop.

    I have sunrise with sub domains and domain mapping, i’m running nginx, hhvm, memcache, redis, and w3, yes Im pushing this to the edge, but they are not the problem.

    Also, there seems to be a slew of htaccess files being installed on my site, which will accomplish nothing, because nginx does not recognize htaccess, i do not run apache, as I am expecting a spike as soon as I open up registration.

    Ok so, update, most of the above issues are solved. However, one of the more important issues has not been corrected, the Theme issue, and that Goddamned hamburger menu!

    However it was a blessing in disguise, as I was about to open up and get buddy press going, which I find to be an amazing attraction of registrations, and spam, but that’s easily fixed with user registration using gravity forms with email confirmation or some other like method and usage of Facebook comments with FB Login to comment with or Disqus.

    can’t help with the first post except for maybe delete the whole theme folder via ftp/cpanel and reinstall a clean version. (ya, that means starting over with customizations but it might be those customizations that are causing it) Could also just rename/move it instead of delete.

    For the social spam thing though.
    wordfence
    wpspamshield
    social connect

    With the first two, no more spam, don’t need honeypots, captcha, recaptcha, email confirmation. None of it. wpsamshield also comes with a basic contact form that has a button on the editor toolbar for adding it to a post/page.
    SocialConnect isn’t supported anymore but works great. People would be able to log in to comment with their fb id. No filling out a form, waiting for email. It’s also one of the few social plugins that doesn’t load your admin with big ads flashing in your face to Go Pro!

    Last, have a look at ultimate membership. Little more streamlined than bp but pretty much does the same thing.

    Paid Membership Pro is a good one too if you want to charge for content or even for subsites. It will make a blog during checkout. Free addon scripts to for the multisite stuff. Get’s along with ult member just fine.
