Wordpress Theme Does Not Create Own Menu on Live Server

Question

I have a strange problem. I bought a theme called miniblog, and it should have a menu item called "Theme Settings", where I basically set everything up.

First, I added the site to my multi-user network, switched the theme, and could not find the menu. There were no active plugins on the site itself, but then I thought that this was due to some network plugins. So I installed the new WP on my localhost, tried it and it worked.

I didn’t want to have a separate WP installation for this blog, but I think I could live with it ... so I installed a new WP on my server, downloaded the theme (no plugins at all) and ... again in the menu no "theme options"!

So, I tried to copy the link to the installation page from my local host, but I got an error message with insufficient permission.

What the hell is going on here? The theme I bought is almost useless. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Turn on WP_DEBUG and find out if any errors appear on your remote host. And post the errors here so that we can help debug any problems that arise.

Answer 2

You can disable menu items through php functions. You can either search for it yourself, for example, in functions.php function, or embed code here using PASETBIN or something similar ...

The code could probably look like this:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_remove_menu_pages' ); function my_remove_menu_pages() { remove_menu_page('link-manager.php'); } 

PS: link-manager.php is just an example.
