  1. 146. foreach ($options as $value) {
147.   update_option( $value['id'], $_REQUEST[ $value['id'] ] ); }

    The bit of code which is producing this error (above) is not checking whether $_REQUEST[ $value['id'] ] exists. The errors you are getting suggest that it doesn’t (you will only get this notice with full error checking enabled). Other parts of your code are checking the existence of this variable before using it (so they are OK) and would suggest you should be doing the same here.

    You say your theme works OK when debug is off, so this would suggest that you only need to check the existence of this variable before using it. Something like (replacing the 2 lines above):

    foreach ($options as $value) {
  if (isset($_REQUEST[ $value['id'] ])) {
    update_option( $value['id'], $_REQUEST[ $value['id'] ] );
  }
}

    However, although this should prevent your ‘errors’ (they are only notices really), I’m unfamiliar with wordpress themes so can’t say for sure whether this is expected behaviour or whether there is something underlying which is at fault.
