 * Hello [@ibro87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibro87/), did you click on
   a select theme ? and then click on the button “Save all the changes”.

 * Also it might issue if you are using MS Edge as there is a bug in the browser
   preventing to save settings in some cases.

 * Hi Paul,
 * Yes I did.
 * FYI, I am using Google Chrome on MacBook Pro. If there is there anything I can
   do to save the changes please do let me know. Many thanks.

 * Hi Paul,
 * I just tried using different browser (Firefox) and the issue still exist.
    I 
   am getting the following error after saving changes: “Fatal error: Call to undefined
   function sanitize_hex_color() in /home1/ibro/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cmp-
   coming-soon-maintenance/cmp-settings.php on line 273” I just realized that the
   same problem occurs with “Construct” theme as well.
 * However, “Hardwork” theme works perfectly fine on all browsers so I will just
   stick to this theme for now. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

 * OK, that helps! `sanitize_hex_color()` function is available since WordPress 
   version 4.6 (currently 4.9.8) so you must run quite old WordPress installation.
 * I will make update to our plugin to catch this error as soon as possible but 
   it would be best, if you could update your WordPress to latest version anyway
   🙂

   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some

   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
