What happened to the 'Install to Selected' when installing theme updates?

[John]

In versions up to 4.2.7.1 it was possible filter all sites with a specific theme, and then (via the button Install to Selected) install a new version of that theme to all of those sites.
In version 4.3xxx this option appears to have disappeared ? Or is that functionality now hidden somewhere else please ?

Thanks !

This is related to the issue I reported for the plugins:

Manage Plugins screen doesn't show versions (and styling issues)

After installing the beta version of the MainWP Child plugin on 244 sites, this failed on 11 sites. So I wanted to select those sites via Manage Plugins. I selected MainWP Child and toggled open the row with the plugin. Ths sites are shown, but they all show 4.2.6 as the version. In the old version I could select all sites having 1 version and use that to bulk install the plugin again. That doesn’t seem possible anymore (and will be missed!). Also the styling is off again: light background and …

For themes it’s still not available, because you can’t select active themes (they are locked).

Currently, the “Install to Selected” button is missing for Manage Themes.
So, even if you search for Inactive themes and select the desired Child Sites, the button will not be displayed as opposed to the Manage Plugins page.

This has already been addressed, and the change will be included in the v4.3.1 release.

The second issue are the Active Themes. They currently have a Lock icon instead of a checkbox because Active themes cannot be Deleted. This prevents the sites from being selected in the current UI.

We are planning on addressing this as well. The preliminary plans are to add a separate way to select those sites while also preserving the Lock icon and the protection for the Active themes. We don’t have an exact ETA for this specific change.
