Hi Karine,

Thank you for the information, I have it setup that way and now the site doesn't create a subsite at all.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with how the site template was added to SharePoint.

I created the subsite template on a separate site and saved it as a template and then uploaded it to the Solutions on my parent site with the workflow. Could that be the cause of my problem? Is there a specific way I need to add the custom template to my new site so it works properly?

Thank you!!

Ashley

You said you are able to use the template when creating sites manually? Did you get the GUID from the site where the template is used?

Are both the site you used to create the template and the site you are using the template in located in the same site collection?
