Appearances missing Design Category

    The design category under appearances in one of my websites does not appear. The web designer did not create access to it as he did with one of my other sites. I cannot get a response from the designer. Is there any way to obtain this without him doing it from his end. It allows me to change the header slideshow which is very dated.
    Thanks so much,
    Brett

    What functionality does the design category hold, as in your other sites?

    Thee isn’t a Design option in WordPress 3.4.2 and there hasn’t been one since WordPress 2.7(?). Are you referring to the Appearance menu item?

    That option/functionality is being added by the theme on the site you linked to above. And as it’s a custom theme, there’s not a lot we can offer in the way of help.
