I have a sharepoint 2013 subsite called 'projects' where all its projects are subsites that were created by a site template.

I wanted to make changes to the template so I created a new 'project' subsite using the template, made the changes and saved that subsite as a new site template.

Now, when I'm trying to create new project subsites I only see the old site template but can't see the new one.

I've checked the solution gallery and they are both appearing there in active state.

Any I ideas what went wrong here?

Thanks.

I found the solution: if I want to allow the use of site tamplates in subsites I need to enter their site settings and into 'Page layouts and site templates' and add the requested site template to the allowed list of site templates.

I can't believe the option was in front of me on the screen and I didn't see it...

You have to activate the Publishing feature on the root and on the affected site.

The Option for that setting is not there anymore. Don't know since when but I just had the same issue not being able to use a custom template for a new Site Collection. -Template is present in solutions gallery -Custom tab is not being displayed when I want to select a template for the newly created site -In the site settings of the newly created site there is no Option "Page layouts and site templates" in the looks & feel section
