Hi,

I noticed this a while back but didn't have time to look into it to much. I have two zen sub-themes that I'm actively working on and I noticed that they don't show the theme specific settings in their theme settings page.

I enabled both the Zen Starterkit and Zen Classic themes and they both showed the extra settings without a problem. I also tried moving one of the sub-themes back inside the Zen directory, but that didn't seem to make a difference at all.

I did a compare on one of the sub-themes and the Starter Kits .info and theme-settings.php files but there didn't appear to be anything different that shouldn't have been.

I'm having the same problem...can't figure it out. Any help?

I had the same problem with a zen sub-theme and I don't think it's a bug, rather it is a user configuration error.

I had copied another zen sub-theme to use as a starting point and had forgotten to search and replace the old themename for the new one in the theme-settings.php file.

It was the
_settings function name in theme-settings.php that fixed things. I can now see the theme-specific settings on the Theme Configuration admin page.

Hope that is useful!

Cheers, Jules

How right you are, thanks for your post.

I guess this can be classified as PEBKAC.
