 * Theme debug throws errors from wp-includes. How is this related to the theme 
   files?
 * e.g. Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and 
   capabilities instead. in /Library/WebServer/Documents/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 3321
 * I deleted all plug-ins and searched inside of ALL my template files and still
   get this error and a few others that come from inside of wp-includes.
 * Because of these errors the theme is not being accepted into the free theme directory.

 * I am getting the same thing. However, I get the notice to disappear when when
   I take my theme options menu call of my function.php file.
 * add_action(‘admin_menu’, “cs_debut_admin_init”);
 * Even if I take out the “cs_debut_admin_init” function completely, the notice 
   is still thrown. Interesting….

 * Try ensuring that you’re not using any deprecated tags or functions in your theme.

 * I found the solution on [tumbledesign.com](http://tumbledesign.com/fix-notice-has_cap-was-called-with-an-argument-that-is-deprecated-since-version-2-0-in-wordpress/).

 * Just so the solution is here as well. It had to do with using a role identifier
   instead of a capability in the add_theme_page() function:
 * **Wrong:** (the use of “8”)
    add_theme_page( “Debut Options”, “Theme Options”,
   8, ‘cs_debut_admin_menu’, ‘cs_debut_admin’);
 * **Correct:** (i used “switch_themes”)
    add_theme_page( “Debut Options”, “Theme
   Options”, ‘switch_themes’, ‘cs_debut_admin_menu’, ‘cs_debut_admin’);
