WordPress karma theme shortcodes not working
In the theme folder there is probably a folder called cache where timthumb stores the images it creates. Make sure this is writable, as otherwise timthumb can’t put it’s images anywhere and simply fails to load anything.
List of categories instead of dropdown menu selector in admin options
In that case you can get the list of categories and for each category create a text field something like this: $categories = get_categories(‘hide_empty=0&orderby=name’); foreach ($categories as $cat){ $options[] = array( “name” => $cat->name, “desc” => “Select a color for “.$cat->name.” category”, “id” => $shortname.”_cat_”.$cat->term_id, “type” => “text”, “std” => “”); }
Tabbed theme options query about add_settings_section callback function
You only need one register_setting() call. The rest can be handled internally. I wrote a Settings API tutorial that explains how to do so.

You can add a new ‘main’ page to the admin menu using add_menu_page (see Codex). The solution @Kaiser linked to provides sufficient detail on how to create a settings page.

Admin menus and submenus

Once you add one submenu entry, by default you will have 2 subitems: the parent one (the same as the root item) and the new subitem. This is a default behavior from WordPress (replicating the parent element as the first row when you have … Read more

Custom Text in Media Uploader in a Theme Options Page
This is a short version of what I do in one of my plugins. I copied this behavior from the plugin Advanced Custom Fields (some versions ago, donnow how it proceeds now). 1) When calling the thickbox, add a custom query var (mtt_type in this case): tb_show(‘{$mtt_title}’, ‘media-upload.php?type=image&mtt_type=image&TB_iframe=true’); 2) Print scripts in media-upload.php to modify … Read more
