In both codes, the get_option function should be outside of the string, like this:

<?php 
$theme_value = get_option(mytheme_value);
query_posts ('meta_key=post_views_count&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC&meta_value='.$theme_value);?>

and

$theme_status = get_option(mytheme_status);
// ADD THE FORM INPUT TO $new_post ARRAY
$new_post = array(
    'post_title'    =>  $title,
    'post_content'  =>  $description,
    'post_category' =>  array($_POST['cat']),  // Usable for custom  taxonomies too
    'tags_input'    =>  array($tags),
    'post_status'   =>  $theme_status,

And why do you end this last code with a comma? You just put a part of the code? If not, you have to remove the comma and close the array.

Also, what are these variables mytheme_value and mytheme_status? Do they exist?

If you still have errors, you should write here the rest of the code.
