    I have 0.5 installed
    I am using subdirectories
    Linux - Apache - PHP 5

    When I go to activate a new theme
    I get the main site administrative login

    Looks like the URL is missing the subdirectory

    For site
    http://blogs.mydomain.com/SUBDIRECTORY
    The activate new theme URL is
    http://blogs.mydomain.com/wp-admin/themes.php?...............

    it should be
    http://blogs.mydomain.com/SUBDIRECTORY/wp-admin/themes.php?................

    thanks

    Actually, the omitted path is by design. When you log into a subdirectory wp-admin, WP Hive uses a cookie to track which site you are actually logged into, while still using the URL for the root WP Admin. The cookie is removed when you logout.

    I just tested it here, and I had no problems activating a theme on a subdirectory site. Can you tell me more about the error you are receiving when you click "Activate"?

    More testing
    Here is the setup
    Go into the subdirectory wp site
    blog.mydomain.com/mydomain
    select appearance
    Click on the image of the theme you want
    It will give you a preview of the new layout
    on the upper right portion of the screen it will say
    activate xyz theme
    clicking on this is when the problem occurs.
    Clicking on the activate selection under the preview image works using "activate" in the line that reads
    actives | preview | delete
    works fine

    hope this makes sense

    thx
