I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/goalgorilla/open_social/blob/8.x-1.x/themes/socialblu...

I created the theme by copying socialblue to mytheme
I switched out all references of socialblue with mytheme

I tried to enable mytheme when socialblue was the default and I got a WSOD and this error:
Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\\Core\\Config\\PreExistingConfigException: "Configuration objects (socialblue.settings) provided by onebayview already exist in active configuration" at social-8.x-1.7-drupal-8.4.2/html/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/PreExistingConfigException.php line 65, referer: http://mysite/admin/appearance

I enabled socialbase as the default
uninstalled socialblue
installed mytheme and the error went away

but when I goto the page it is just blank.

I am wondering if copying and replacing socialblue with mytheme is correct. In looking at the social_features module there are a number of references to 'socialblue_'

please help.

Have you renamed:

socialblue.settings.yml

in mytheme\config\install

as well?

Just checked it.

1. cloned socialblue
2. renamed all files (including files in subdirectories) and the directory by replacing all occurrences of "socialblue" with "mytheme"
3. replaced all occurrences (including files in subdirectories) of "socialblue" with "mytheme" in the files
4. replaced all occurrences (including files in subdirectories) of "Social Blue" with "My Theme" in the files
5. enabled Subtheme

Worked fine!
