I have my front end site, and a members area located on different sub-domains.

I created my own 'base' theme, and also created a child theme which is now running the front end of the site. Everything is fine here.

I would now like to now create a second child theme, and connect it to the same base theme.

However, the second child theme is on another sub-domain, so I can't simply use approach of:

/*
Template: BaseTheme
*/

How can I point the second child theme back to the original base theme?

    a bit confusing, are the subdomains part of the same install or not?

  • no they are not. Separate wordpress installs. I just want to extend a child theme into a second install.

  • I don't see a problem then using the approach you described? As the parent (base) theme is in the same install directory it should be found fine.

If your sites are on the same server and you have SSH access to that server you can set a symlink of the master theme folder in the themes folder of your other sites.

I've done it myself with a network of 4 sites that all share the same theme code.

Hope that helps.
