 * version:  3.5.1 => 3.1


Comment:

 Got "Cheatin' uh?" message from `wp-admin/themes.php`: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-admin/themes.php#L20

 BuddyPress Default theme is correctly registered with `/plugins/buddypress
 /bp-themes` as theme root, however `wp_get_theme( 'bp-default' )` later
 looks for `WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes'` instead.

 Caused by the early return in `get_theme_roots()` and
 `get_raw_theme_root()`: [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-
 includes/theme.php#L285 [[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-
 includes/theme.php#L510
 {{{
 if ( count($wp_theme_directories) <= 1 )
         return '/themes';
 }}}
 Commenting out these lines in both functions allowed me to activate
 BuddyPress Default theme.

 Introduced in [15641], corrected in [16424]. It assumes that if there's
 only one theme directory, it's `wp-content/themes`. According to the
 ticket description, this assumption isn't always correct, although it's
 probably an edge case.

 Reproduced in 3.1 as well. There was no "Cheatin' uh?" message (it was
 introduced later in [21010]), however `validate_current_theme()` still
 failed, and the theme could not be activated: [[BR]]
