Custom web template and variation.

I have a custom web template created based on the publishing template. When I create a site using the custom web template in the source variation it does not get propagated to other language variation (I have waited long enough and also run the propagate site jobs). Creating a site with the publishing template does get propagated. Will site propagation only work for publishing site or is there a way to make it work for custom web templates?

Hi Velavans,

 

As far as I know, variations can be used only on SharePoint Server 2010 sites that are created with one of the Publishing site templates, or on a site for which the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature has been enabled.

 

Please check whether you meet the conditions above.

 

For more information about variation planning and overview, please refer to the following articles:

Hope this is helpful.
