Limit to number of installed themes?

I can’t find it right now, but a week or so ago someone posted a question who had more than 1200 themes installed. There might be a limit to the number that will display on your dashboard, but you can cram as many themes into that folder as you want.

Thanks for the info. I’ll keep hunting for whatever else could be preventing them from displaying in the dashboard.

It helps a lot just to know that it’s not a limitation of the platform, if that makes sense. (:

Just curious, why on earth would you want that many themes?

@johnpope For me, I like seeing the way different themes display, comparing the methods used for different features, and ‘looking under the hood’ to see how the heck they did that. For example, I may be impressed by the smooth horizontal columns in one theme, the easy viewer-selected stylesheet shifts in another, and the unique layout in yet another.

That’s the type of learner I am. I find elements I appreciate in others work, dissect it, and learn to apply those skills to create my own styles.

Granted, my reasoning may be different from whoever it was who had 1200 themes installed… but I’m seriously not sure what *anyone* would do with 1200 themes. ??

What Chrisber said. 1200 themes. A test of theory re how many themes affects performance of site, or so I gather. Not surprised to see as many themes in WPMU install, but in single one … go figure.
