We are having the same problem with one of our shops upgraded to 2.1.3.

Initially the database was correctly configured, but as we tried to resave the storeview design theme, it changed the value to the default scope value.

Same here.

Editing the store view under content=>configuration makes no difference. It'll tell you it saved the configuration but then it still shows the theme as being default. Part of my problem was that the home page for each store view had somehow become unset. Very uncool @magento-team. Might I suggest pulling 2.1.3 until this problem is fixed? It clearly isn't ready.

Same Here.

I managed to change the theme if you change the setting as single shop.

Store > Configuration > General > General > Single-Store Mode > YES

content > Configuration > Edit
Default theme > Smartwave Porto

@cadoworld Does that work if you have more than one store?

[Ctucker9233]

I reverted to 2.1.2. Thank goodness that worked!

For version 2.1.3, when you run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy, it looks like there is some sort of theme minification script that runs. I wonder if this is what is messing up our custom themes. I'll dig around a little bit.

[Ctucker9233]

@magento-team What files get called when php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy gets run? I think I can figure this out if I know where to look. Otherwise, it's a needle in a haystack.

@Ctucker9233
Module: module-deploy
Class: DeployStaticContentCommand
Path: vendor/magento/module-deploy/console/command/DeployStaticContentCommand.php

Maybe you can catch your result from there ;)

To me it looks like this issue might also be related to #7815 and #7840. Seems like there is an issue with configuration scope and inheritance at multiple places in the config, see this comment.

I've got it to work by doing the following steps:

• Delete rows in db with path 'design/theme/theme_id' from table 'core_config_data'
• Run bin/magento indexer:reindex

When you refresh the design page you should see no-theme set for all the stores.
Now just start resaving/setting your themes on Store View Level, for us the Store Level was giving problems.

Make sure to clear cache if its on ;)!

Let me know if this also works for you guys!
