Enabling All Site Templates on a
SharePoint Server Site
In a SharePoint Server environment, when you want to create a new site, you might find
that the site template you want to use in the browser is not listed on the Create page.
Troubleshooting If you want to base the new site on one of the practice solution .wsp files,
be sure you have first uploaded the file to the Solutions gallery. See “Using the Practice Files”
section at the start of the book.
