<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>I'm hearing two things here:<br><br></div>1. Theme Previewer must work without relying on any options set in the database - whether or not the theme has been activated or not previously.<br>
<br></div>2. Eventually, Chip doesn't want anything written to the database unless the user explicitly saves options, even if the theme has been activated.<br><br></div>This is two different things, and at least for my themes, presents two very different issues. They show the default settings just fine in preview without any interaction with the database, and this makes perfect sense. But once a theme has been activated, it relies on being able to save the default settings as an option to display the options admin pages correctly. <br>
<br></div>I would hope being able to Preview correctly is the critical issue here?<br><br>The latter is a very difficult issue for my themes at least, partly because of their interaction with the WP Settings API. Hope I don't need to cross that bridge.<br>
