I’ve been asked this question twice this week so I thought I would document it…
You’ve created a new site collection in SharePoint 2010 and chose the Publishing Site template. When you go to Site Actions -> New Site you only see ‘Publishing Site with Workflow’ and ‘Enterprise Wiki’ as available options. What if you want to create a team site as a subsite?
- Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings
- Select ‘Page layouts and site templates’ under Look and Feel
- Decide whether to make all site templates available (‘Subsites can use any site template’) or choose templates from the ‘Subsites can only use the following site templates’ list
- Click OK
Now when you try to create a new subsite you have access to the site templates you need. Happy SharePointing!
