function theme_admin_setup() {

add_theme_page(
__( ‘Theme Options’),   // Name of page
__( ‘Theme Options’),   // Label in menu
‘edit_theme_options’,                    // Capability required
‘theme_options’,                         // Menu slug, used to uniquely identify the page
‘theme_options_page’ // Function that renders the options page

6) Import your XML.

7) copy the upload directory from the old instance
