 * I installed “white paper bonus” theme and there is no “theme options” in the 
   appearance tab. None of my previous themes had this either.
 * Ive been looking for an answer and cant seem to find one.
 * Ive installed “Options Framework” and activated it but that hasnt done anything.(
   maybe i installed it wrong?)
 * I am an “admin” and not a “super admin” if that makes a difference?
 * Theres only me who uses my wordpress so im just clueless to what I have to do
   to make it work. Im a complete newbie when it comes to building websites and 
   wordpress.

 * Hi there,
 * The first thing to note is that a theme does not have to have theme options at
   all. It is totally up to the theme developer. So it may not be that the theme
   is broken, but that it simply does not have options.
 * That said, I cannot find the theme you mentioned, “white paper bonus.” Seems 
   as if it is not hosted on wordpress.org. If that is the case, you will not be
   able to receive theme support here. You will have to contact the appropriate 
   support channel for the theme distributor.

 * sorry it was “white paper” which is available to download from wordpress but 
   I downloaded the “bonus” paid version from the builders website and manually 
   installed it.
 * so your saying that theres no way to get the “theme options” into it? to add 
   it manually? so does that mean I will have to manually code the css to edit how
   i want it. (sorry about this question I really am a newbie)
 * I will try to contact the developer about this to see if they can maybe tell 
   me how to manually add the “themes options” in.

 * Hi there,
 * No worries at all. I’m not saying with confidence that the theme has no options.
   I’m not familiar with the theme. I’m just saying that a theme does not have to
   have options.
 * You mentioned that there were no options under the Appearance menu item in your
   dashboard. How about the “Customizer” link… are you sure there are no options
   there?
 * That said, if you paid for the premium version of the theme, I would definitely
   contact their support. Does they have published documentation?
