"Your Custom Content Types" / "Portfolio Projects" option not available

LS,

I am not getting the “Your Custom Content Types” dialogue and no checkbox to enable “Portfolio Projects” in Dashboard > Settings > Writing.

I am running WP 4.1 on my local machine, installed Espied, installed Jetpack (3.3 / development mode), activated Custom Content Types in Jetpack Settings … No “Your Custom Content Types” in Dashboard > Settings > Writing; No Portfolio content type folder in the Dashboard sidebar.

I have tried a clean WP install, that didn’t help.

(FYI: I tried plugin: Portfolio Post Type | https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/portfolio-post-type/ which does give me the Portfolio folder and i can add PF items. Problem is the Espied theme doesn’t present it’s great thumbnailed/grid Portfolio page with this plugin)

I have done the same routine on a wordpress.com hosted site … and all seems to run fine (stefkolman.wordpress.com). I have posted two screenshots of my settings pages there as well.

hope you can help.
best regards
