Theme Options only appear to Site Wide admins (2 posts)

    Duke University has recently started using WPMu for club websites. I am responsible for a couple of the clubs at Duke's Law school. I had the WPMu site admin install the Elegant theme for use for our clubs, under my user. While the site-admin can access the theme specific options, as a lessor-permission'd admin, I cannot. He tells me that only the three highest level admins, those who have site-wide access can get to those options (something I cannot get). While people like me, who manage individual sub-sites cannot access them. Can someone help me figure out what needs to be changed in the WPMu settings or in the theme settings to adjust those permissions?

    Thank you,

    Tim

    It needs to be fixed in the theme code itself. Find where it bulds the theme options page (usually in functions.php) and it will have a cap (cabability) of edit_theme. Change it to edit_theme_options.

    and notify the theme author that it will need to be fixed.
