A client has created a site collection with many (hundreds) of subsites. The logo in on each subsite takes them to the subsites welcome page but what the client wants is to link to the very top site welcome page in the site collection. How is this done in the easiest way (instead of having to change manually on each site)? Powershell?
Thanks in advance.
You can change the link in the masterpage to accomplish this.
Open the masterpage in e.g. SharePoint Designer in Split mode. Select the logo and adjust the control SPLinkButton. The NavigateUrl value is default "~site". Change this to "~sitecollection". Save, check in and approve the masterpage.

I'm really finding it difficult to set up a new theme for my SharePoint 2013 site.
I have uploaded all other files to the design gallery. But when I uploaded the page layouts, and I try to change the Content Type to Page Layout, I get the error below:
Sorry, something went wrong List does not exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

Please what can I do to resolve this?
Thanks.
I got it working by disabling the publishing feature under > site settings > Site Collections Feature > SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features
Deactivate
Reactivate
Rebooted the server (probably could have done an IISReset but
overkill!)
Now I can add layout pages under master pages gallery.
In the browser, go to your site, and on the Site Actions menu, click
View All Site Content, and then click the Pages document library.
Or you can browse directly to
http://your_site/pages/forms/allitems.aspx, where your_site is the URL
for your site, such as fabrikamweb/finance for the
http://fabrikamweb/finance subsite.
The Pages document library is created automatically by the publishing
feature and contains all of the pages in a site that are created from
page layouts. You can look in the Page Layout column to see which page
layout was used for a specific page and then click the link to view
that page in the browser.

I want to customize the SharePoint 2013 online(office 365) "About me" linked page (personimmersive.aspx) to a custom look and feel.
Even clicking on any SPUser name, for ex in a list item modified by is "John Smith" if we click on it goes to about me page.
This page resides under mysite but I cannot see this page is SharePoint 2013 designer to edit, but modifying SharePoint pages in designer is not always the best way.
Can I just create a new page and redirect all Profile page request to that custom page?
IF I create app parts and edit the page I cannot edit the top portion of the page.
redirecting may not be a feasible approach, specially on the online versions
you can try to take advantage of web parts and css to do what you can
The biggest change is that you can’t edit the entire top portion of
the page. These used to be in a web part zone, and you could choose to
add/remove the web parts. Now they are fixed, with no ability to move
them around or change the parts.
We had removed the Activity Feed web part previously because we were
using Yammer newsfeeds and group feeds embedded throughout the site,
and this part always showed “No activities”. Now this is back again,
with no way to remove it, short of editing the page in SharePoint
Designer.
There are still web part zones on the bottom, but really the problem
is no control over the display of most of the top of the page.

There is personImmersive.aspx in SharePoint Designer, you should be able to find it in All Files. Just make sure you connect to [your_domain]-my.sharepoint.com instead of [your_domain].sharepoint.com.
you can't customize the page completely.However you can add custom web part and custom css to change the look and feel to a great extent.
#tiago duarte you can still remove the activity web part.This can be done using script editor webpart and hiding the complete block/div.
I'd like to ask if you came up with a solution that will allow for subsites to access a centralized document library at the parent level. I'm still trying to no avail. I've tried doc library templates, views, Doc Center and the best method i have OOTB is a page view web part on the subsites page display a view from the parents library. (by the way to remove the ribbon, append ?IsDlg=1 to the url and the ribbons hidden) cool tip. Say will you give be a Y/N on a solution that will allow one to keep a set of documents in the doc center and surface them in the sub-site.
There are another option without such hard coding. You can open any view of your document library, as mentioned earlier AllItems.aspx for example with SharePoint Designer. Open it for editing in advanced mode (there are option when you click right mouse button on file in SP Designer). Then just point mouse cursor inside web part and chose in ribbon web parts, Add to Site gallery, see the picture. Fill in name of new web part. That is all, now you can add this web part on any page on any web site from webpart gallery through the user interface or through the SP Designer by clicking Insert, Web Part in the ribbon on any page.
You can do this by editing the AllItems.aspx (or other view page) and scraping off the WebPartPages:ListViewWebPart and pasting it into a page on the subsite.
This will give you an error "List does not exits The page you selected contains a list that does not exist."
Then you need to get the WebID for the root site (where you took the ListViewWebpart from and replace the part of the webpart that looks like this:
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</WebId>
with (for example)
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">7b04dee8-b120-4dee-abea-28b77316ec7d</WebId>
I am trying to move webpart page containg content editor webpart from the one site to another site through sharepoint designer but the page is moved without its content so how to move page with its content anyone can tell me how to solve this issue.
There are many ways to do that. If you are doing this in development farm you can try SPContentDeploymentWizard. You need to export the page with all it's reference and then import it in destination.
I am needing to change the site icon for every site in a site collection in sharepoint 2007. I already know you can change it from Site Settings -> Look and Feel. Is there a way to do this programmatically?
Do you mean the site logo? Check out SPWeb.SiteLogoUrl property. You probably want to set it as:
site.RootWeb.SiteLogoUrl = pictureUrl;
