• I’m not sure if it’s the result of a recent WordPress update, but i used to have “Theme Options” under Appearance on my dashboard–it’s no longer there. My theme options include an important feature that i need to update often, so this is fairly urgent. Could someone please explain the solution, keeping in mind that I am not to savvy with code etc?

    Possible related, i found this post from David Sader that seems to address the issue, but either it doesn’t work for me or I didn’t do it right:
    _____________________________________________________________
    “Even a couple themes I’ve auto updated in the last couple days via the WP repository still had the ‘edit_themes’ cap.

    Found ‘edit_themes’ cap in functions.php (or some other theme file that creates the menu)

    This was the problem:
    add_theme_page($themename.” Options”, “”.$themename.” Options”, ‘edit_themes’, basename(__FILE__), ‘wptheme_admin’);

    This is the solution:
    add_theme_page($themename.” Options”, “”.$themename.” Options”, ‘edit_theme_options’, basename(__FILE__), ‘wptheme_admin’);

  • If you ask a question specific to your Theme, it is imperative that you include in your question the name of the Theme you’re using; otherwise, nobody will be able to help you.

    Thanks Chip, but mine is a custom theme:

    Wiley Science Advisor Theme 1.0
    A Theme by DevPatch Developed For Wiley’s WordPress MU Version 2.7.

    I’ve been using this same theme for a couple of years and no problems, so i thought there might be a general solution to my problem.

    Are you running a single site or a network site (i.e. is MultiSite enabled)?

    Was your Theme last updated for WordPress 2.7 (i.e. years ago)?

    If you switch Themes, does the problem persist?

    More than likely, this is a problem specific to your custom Theme, and you’re going to need to get your developer to fix it.
