Custom Theme isn't honored in published Story Map

[pat_algura]

I created a custom theme for my Story Map, and it is applied and showing on my edit session. However, once it's published, the custom theme doesn't take effect. Not sure if there's any other settings that's required...

Thanks,

Patricia

Hello! I'm sorry you're not seeing your theme applied as you expected. I just tested this workflow and am not able to reproduce the issue you've described.

Could you check the following things and let us know what you find?

• Are there unpublished changes present in your story? If there are, publish the story again and check to see if you still observe the issue.
• Has the theme been unshared? If it has, share the StoryMap theme item with Everyone from your Content page in ArcGIS.

Hi @OwenGeo ,

I could confirm that there are no unpublished changes in my story and the theme is share with Everyone.
Is sharing the theme to Everyone a requirement for it to be used and viewable in the StoryMap?

Thanks,

Patricia

Hi Patricia,

I've the exact same issue. When I publish my story map with a published custom theme (shared with everyone), it reverts back to the default theme. If I go back to editing mode, the custom theme is still applied.

Have you found any solutions ? Thank you in advance.

The accentuation color is green in our custom template. We are using Entreprise 10.9. It seems to be an unsolved bug Link

Ahh! Thanks for mentioning this is on Enterprise. That is always very important information when trying to troubleshoot issues. 🙂

Looks like the bug you linked to is a duplicate of BUG-000142559: In ArcGIS Enterprise, custom designs are not applied, which was resolved in 10.9.1.

Thank your for your answer Owen ! Good to know.

I chose to replicate my storymap on Arcgis Online, instead of updating Entreprise to 10.9.1. It's working fine.

It's not a requirement to share a theme publicly as long as the story is not shared with everyone. But if the story is shared with everyone and the theme is not, then the story will show with the standard/white/Summit theme for anyone who doesn't have access to the theme.

My StoryMap and theme are shared the same way, so not sure as to why it still defaults to the standard theme. 

Cheers,

Patricia
