My users can't see settings of some themes

The theme. ??

Go to the functions.php file, look for the edit_themes cap. change it to edit_theme_options or switch_themes.

Thanks for your fast help. ??

Worked with theme’s options, but the widget menu don’t appear. ??

And edit_themes cap is not essentially in functions.php, varies depending the theme.

functions.php is where the theme usually builds the theme’s options menu tho. ?? That’s what you’re looking for.

i see your know issue but i can’t understand it:

do you refer to wp30 /wp-include/function.php or specific theme /themes/twentyten/function.php. i couldn’t find the named ‘edit_theme’ string in any of those files

or may be you could give a example for ‘twenty ten’ theme.

I mean in the theme’s functions file as that’s where the code is to build the theme’s options page.

I just searched through 330+ themes I have installed in my multisite installs. 75 themes used the ‘edit_themes’ cap and needed to be changed to ‘edit_theme_options’.

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');

Thanks, Andrea_r.

Wow. Thanks andrea_r!

Quick search of wp.org and your solution saved me hours of digging around.

You are awesome!
