 * Hey all!
 * Quick question, hoping someone can help me out.
    I’ve been running WordPress 
   for many years and have created over 25 unique themes, for all of them I create
   a specified functions.php file with some extra options, depending on the clients
   wishes.
 * But now, I’ve ran into a strange problem which I’ve never had before. My fucntions.
   php file with extra theme options is working absolutely fine on my local install(
   for testing), but when I upload it to the server where the website is hosted,
   the WordPress backend can’t find it.

 * Sorry, post wasn’t over yet…
 * Does anyone of you have an idea what the problem is? When I upload the functions.
   php file to my server, normally the title I’ve set shows up in the left menu 
   bar under “Appearance”, which it does perfectly fine in my local setup, but not
   on the server…
 * Anyone has an idea?

 * Just tried uploading one of my other themes which support Theme Options, not 
   working either.
