Title: Can't save theme options Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Can't save theme options * Resolved [johnsalomon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnsalomon/) * (@johnsalomon) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/) * Hi all, * I am using the excellent [suffusion](http://www.aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/) theme and seem to be unable to save any theme-specific options. * I already posted to the theme support forum, but thought I’d ask here as well, in case it was a known issue (search turned up nothing like it). * There are no error messages, either in my server access/error logs (set to ‘debug’), or in the browser or admin interface. This affects all theme config menus except one (for those of you using it, ‘Visual Effects -> Theme Selection’ which seems no different from the other menus) * I recently upgraded the theme. Unfortunately I am not sure whether this is as a result of the upgrade, as I don’t believe I’ve changed much, if anything, over the past few (regular, incremental) updates. I do not recall the version I upgraded from, but it was around August 10, so it can’t have been a large leap. * The theme maintains all the options I’d set previously before the upgrade. I have tried disabling all WP plugins, checked unix-level file permissions and ownership, tried with Firefox and Safari on OSX and Chrome on XP, cleared browser cache, etc. * The site and theme work fine. I have tried changing numerous options; all reset to the old values when I click ‘save’. * Tried to delete the theme directory and re-download it — no luck. Tried to switch to another theme (which let me save options just fine), then back again, also no go. * All other wordpress configuration changes and content submissions work fine. The page is an Apache2 VirtualHost; I have a second, identically configured server( identical except for whatever’s broken) on another vhost, where theme options changes work. I also checked for .htaccess or server-level access rules, nothing there though. * Apache 2.2.3 / Ubuntu Wordpress 3.0.1 Suffusion 3.6.3 * Any hints as to what I might be doing wrong? I saw a posting describing a problem similar to this on the wordpress.org forums, but no details or follow-up. * Thanks, * -John Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [cruth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cruth/) * (@cruth) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644962) * Same problem. There are no save buttons on my blog. using 3.6.6. * Extremely detailed features, but cumbersome to navigate, partly because terminology used sometimes seems vague or less than accurate. * Examples? * “Visual effects” ( What is that ? ) Same with “Blog Features” * I like all of the design options. However, this theme could be greatly improved if there were ways to MORE QUICKLY make significant changes to the theme navigation and appearance. * [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644963) * > There are no save buttons on my blog. using 3.6.6. * The save buttons are very prominently overlaid on each of your options pages. You might want to clear out your cache if you are not seeing them. * > “Visual effects” ( What is that ? ) > Same with “Blog Features” * The distinction between Visual Effects and Blog Features is more along the lines of “look and feel” (aka CSS) and “core functionality” (aka PHP). * > However, this theme could be greatly improved if there were ways to MORE QUICKLY > make significant changes to the theme navigation and appearance. * While I welcome the comment, it is basically useless to me without more specific inputs about how “this theme could be greatly improved”. How would you propose 450+ options be grouped so that you can “MORE QUICKLY make significant changes”? * [graveside-tales](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graveside-tales/) * (@graveside-tales) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644965) * I have flushed the cache (happens when I close my browser). There clearly is no save buttons. * Any one figure out the fix for this? * [graveside-tales](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graveside-tales/) * (@graveside-tales) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644966) * Here is the fix. I had to use an FTP program to navigate to themes/suffusion/ admin. * [http://www.aquoid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2679](http://www.aquoid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2679) * [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644967) * The solution was posted through another thread here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/366-suffusion-theme-or-zip-files-seems-defectiive?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/366-suffusion-theme-or-zip-files-seems-defectiive?replies=3) * [cruth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cruth/) * (@cruth) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-theme-options/#post-1644977) * Saytontan, * Excellent work!
