Navigate to Turbo Subdomains → Settings → Themes to control the visual appearance of your subdomains. Turbo Subdomains allows you to assign different WordPress themes to different subdomains, creating visual variety across your network.

Preparing Themes for Use

Critical First Step: Before configuring theme settings in Turbo Subdomains, you must download and install all themes you plan to use through standard WordPress theme management.

Installation Process:

  1. Navigate to WordPress Appearance → Themes
  2. Click “Add New” button
  3. Search for themes from supported lists (see below)
  4. Click “Install” for each theme you want
  5. Click “Activate” for at least one theme (typically your default)
  6. Return to Turbo Subdomains → Settings → Themes

Important: Themes must be installed in WordPress before they appear in Turbo Subdomains theme dropdowns.

Custom Themes

Can You Use Unlisted Themes?: Yes, with caveats.

Process for Custom Themes:

  1. Install theme through WordPress as normal
  2. Assign to a test subdomain
  3. Test thoroughly:
    • Default pages display correctly
    • Navigation menus work
    • Post layouts render properly
    • Widgets function
    • Responsive design maintained
  4. If testing successful, roll out to production subdomains
  5. If issues found, switch to supported theme

Risk: Unsupported themes may have:

  • Broken layouts
  • Missing features
  • Navigation issues
  • Widget conflicts
  • Mobile responsiveness problems

Recommendation: Stick with fully supported themes for production networks. Use custom themes only after comprehensive testing.
