Your theme does not support customization

Category: Et cetera, Wordpress

If you’re using the Freshy 2.0.6 theme + Customize Plugin + Wordpress 2.6 then you’re stuck with the blank page when you click the “Freshy Theme Options” or you get the “Your theme does not support customization” when you click “Customize Theme“; Here’s a simple fix that you can use until an official patch/fix is provided by Jide himself: You need to edit a few lines on 3 php file.

File: functions.php
Location : Inside your Freshy2 theme folder
Line  473, Change

$path = ABSPATH.$theme_info->template_dir.’/';

to

$path = ABSPATH.’wp-content’.$theme_info->template_dir.’/';

File: nice_theme.php
Location: inside your Customize plugin folder
Line 24, Change

Change $this->path = ABSPATH.$this->theme_info->template_dir.’/';

to

$this->path = ABSPATH.’wp-content’.$this->theme_info->template_dir.’/';

You’d be surprise that with the 2 changes you did above, it’ll fix your WP 2.6 in no time! However, you’ll notice that the “add media” buttons is missing. To fix that problem :

File: nice_forms.php
Location: Inside your Customize plugin
Comment or remove line 92. It’s the line that has something to do with scriptaculous.js.

/* print ‘<script type=”text/javascript” src=”‘.$this->url.’js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,dragdrop”></script>’; */

NOTE: if you will be copy/pasting the codes, i advise that you DOUBLE check the “single quotes” . In most cases the ‘ turns to ` for some weird reasons and it’ll cause the fix not to work. That’s all and have fun with your WP 2.6 and Freshy 2!

Credits to http://offthenetsports.com/ for initially posting the fix at jide.fr page. I just made it more readable & easy to read ;)

    I like your Archive page, would you mind sharing your archive.php with me

  • Chris | July 23rd, 2008 at 5:40 pm

    never mind about the Archives, i found the plugin.
    By the way i think it is line 473 (474) which needs to be changed in the nice_forms.php

  • fransoa | July 23rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm

    thank you so much for advising us about the copy/paste trouble !

  • Deyan | July 25th, 2008 at 10:28 am

    doesent work for me. I edited the file with dreamweaver sucessufully but after I replaced them Wordpress was not functional anymore. Can you share the edited files here?

  • Deyan | July 26th, 2008 at 5:31 am

    error i receve Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/a5640030/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/customize/nice_theme.php on line 26

  • nestle poell | July 26th, 2008 at 5:36 am

    hi deyan, be sure u copy pasted line 24 correctly. You might have pasted the code with invalid “single quote” character.

    it must be:
    $this->path = ABSPATH.'wp-content'.$this->theme_info->template_dir.'/';

  • Sandy | July 26th, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    Hi

    Is there a way to create a menu bar link to my site?

    Not the Blog but the site the blog is connected to?

  • nestle poell | July 26th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

    hi sandy, what do u mean link… like a custom link on the menu bar? yup you can…
    Design -> Freshy Theme Options -> Custom menus

  • sn | July 27th, 2008 at 5:57 am

    hey its line 473 in the functions.php, not 437 ;)
    thx
    sn

  • Manu | July 27th, 2008 at 8:26 am

    I try to apply your patch near the letter but it does not work. Here is the message appears: “Your theme does not support customization. Nevertheless, you can create a template css yourself to provide a form with customization options.”

  • nestle poell | July 27th, 2008 at 10:25 am

    hey sn, thanks for pointing that out… ;) ive edited the post..

    indeed its line 473, not 437 of functions.php :oops:

  • Sandy | July 27th, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    Hola nestle poell ,

    Hi

    When I do that my Link fails and I get a “404″ page.

    Here’s what happens when I try to create a menu item link that leaves the blog to my website:

    http://mysite.com/blog/www.mysite.com

    Thank you so much!

    Is its possible to post an image or a down loadable .txt file of the needed code to make Freshy2 work with WordPress 2.6?

    I am not getting the needed Quotes correct.

    I Love Freshy!

  • punkerdoo | July 28th, 2008 at 5:46 am

    Thanks for the help. You da best!

  • Manu | July 28th, 2008 at 9:57 pm

  • Sands | July 30th, 2008 at 12:28 am

    Thanks Manu !

    Being able to download the files removes any possibility for incorrect use of quotes !

  • redb | July 30th, 2008 at 10:34 pm

    MANY MANY MANY THANKS
    $this->path = ABSPATH.’wp-content’.$this->theme_info->template_dir.’/'; is the good way

    kisses

  • redb | July 30th, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Coud i create a link from myheader ?
    Or better a map in my header pictures ? (i would have a zone where i can redirect the user)

    Many thanks again

  • John F. | July 31st, 2008 at 1:52 am

    Thanks! That did the trick… and it also fixed a problem I was having with my widgets, where I couldn’t move them around to rearrange. So, a double bonus!

    Next question, though, and open to the group… suddenly I’m having a problem with the textbox widget. I can’t paste anything into it except very short lines, or it disappears completely. Falls out of the sidebar as if it were never there.

    Hmmmmm… I was very excited to see a fix, but unfortunately I doesn’t seem to work with Freshy 2.0.8; After applying the changes WP doesn’t work at all.

    Sigh…. I guess I have to wait for a fix still.

  • website hosting | June 5th, 2009 at 6:32 pm

    Does it also works for upgrade 2.7 to 2.7.1?

  • new media strategy | November 12th, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    This is a great tip!
    Thankfully I found it on the net.
    Thanks!
