# 3.9 Theme options not saving

 * Hi, I’m trying edit the appearance of some pages on my site by hiding the Default
   Sidebar on the page. However, after unchecking the option and hitting Update,
   the settings returned to the previous (before unchecking) after the page refreshed.
 * In fact, I can’t seem to change anything under the Theme Options for pages. Other
   options (Publish, Page attributes etc) works fine. The Theme Options also seems
   to work when updating posts.
 * Kindly assist. Thank you.

 * What theme? Also, might be helpful to post in that theme’s forum specifically,
   ask the theme author.

 * I constructed the theme using Artisteer, and I have posted it up to them. Currently
   waiting for a reply. So I’m trying to find possible solutions in the mean time.
 * If I share the theme here, can you take a look at what’s wrong? It does behave
   like a permission issue.

 * I still can’t solve this. But I found that this problem only occurs with older
   pages (pre 3.9). New pages written after 3.9 don’t have this problem.

 * Wondering if a solution was figured out on this. I’m running Artisteer also and
   can’t change Theme Options either. I’ve reached out to Artisteer and waiting 
   on word from them. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

 * **[@scottat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottat/)** – are you using 
   WP3.9? Hope not, it’s not secure. And since this seems specific to your theme,
   Artististeer will be the ones to help you – as these forums only support themes
   from this site.
 * Try deactivating your plugins and switching to a default theme to see if it’s
   something other than your theme. If it turns out to be, please start a new thread.

 * Got it. Makes sense. Thx
