WordPress Settings API, Implementing Tabs On Custom Menu Page

Here is how I do it, beware, post is extensive. /* Add Menus —————————————————————–*/ add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘ch_essentials_admin’); function ch_essentials_admin() { /* Base Menu */ add_menu_page( ‘Essentials Theme’, ‘Essentials Theme’, ‘manage_options’, ‘ch-essentials-options’, ‘ch_essentials_index’); } Now for my settings fields, extra fields removed, just as an example. This is for ‘Front Page Settings’ and ‘Front Page Tab’ add_action(‘admin_init’, … Read more

Add Option if Not Exists

The logic on the IF THEN ELSE does seem a bit wonky. If I’m reading it correctly… The call to get_option( $option_name ) will return FALSE if the option does not exist or if it has no value. So the IF would be executed: when the option doesn’t exist and $new_value != FALSE the option … Read more

Using get_option() in JavaScript

Define an array of parameters to be injected into the script: $script_params = array( ‘myWidth’ => get_option(‘my_width’) ); Localize the script via wp_localize_script: wp_localize_script( ‘your-script-handle’, ‘scriptParams’, $script_params ); scriptParams now is a js object you can access from within the script: alert( scriptParams.myWidth ); // the value from the PHP get_option call in the js

Option to set static front page disappeared from admin reading settings

I just had the same problem but fixed it quickly! 🙂 In my case, my homepage was on draft. Apparently, the settings then can’t find the homepage anymore. It thinks it’s gone and disables the option to set a default homepage. So turn on your homepage to visible. (also name it “Home”) Hope it works … Read more

Options for CDN with WordPress Including Supporting Plugins?

Amazon CloudFront Amazon CloudFront is an CDN ‘wrapper’ around Amazon’s S3 service. Distributions can be created from existing S3 buckets, and when a file is requested from it’s CloudFront URL it is either served from the nearest edge locations’s cache or fetched from S3 and cached. Plugins My CDN – handles URL rewriting of JS, … Read more

Add update notification bubble to admin menu item?

I would do this when you call add_options_page(), not later. It’s always better to do this with the supported API instead of playing with the internal structures. The plugin updater periodically checks the plugin status and then saves the result in a transient. This means that it only reads this cached status when the menu … Read more

Modifying a JS file with data from plugin settings

better is, you use the functions of WP for this, a example for multilanguage: add_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘add_scripts’ ); function add_scripts($where) { wp_localize_script( ‘post2media’, ‘post2media_strings’, $this->localize_vars() ); } function localize_vars() { $strings = array( ‘btntext’ => __( ‘Link with post’, INPSYDE_P2M_TEXTDOMAIN ), ‘txtallnone’ => __( ‘Include in gallery:’, INPSYDE_P2M_TEXTDOMAIN ), ‘txtall’ => __( ‘All’, INPSYDE_P2M_TEXTDOMAIN ), … Read more

This CSS Stuffing Works, But Is This A Good Practice?

You can use wp_add_inline_style() to add to a stylesheet that you’ve already defined, such as in your plugin. This way an options screen or other user settings can affect the final style output. That could become very tedious, however, depending on how many changes you are giving the user the power over. However, it is … Read more

Is get_option() faster than accessing get_transient()?

Today I run a test over my db to explore the speed difference between accessing a key from options, custom table & transients. I ran the test for 1000 times and following is the time taken to run 1000 get operations: Keep in mind that the options table is used for both options and transients … Read more

Limit the number of inactive widgets

Tested under v3.2.1: $sidebars = wp_get_sidebars_widgets(); if(count($sidebars[‘wp_inactive_widgets’]) > 10){ $new_inactive = array_slice($sidebars[‘wp_inactive_widgets’],-10,10); // remove the dead widget options $dead_inactive = array_slice($sidebars[‘wp_inactive_widgets’],0,count($sidebars[‘wp_inactive_widgets’])-10); foreach($dead_inactive as $dead){ $pos = strpos($dead,’-‘); $widget_name = substr($dead,0,$pos); $widget_number = substr($dead,$pos+1); $option = get_option(‘widget_’.$widget_name); unset($option[$widget_number]); update_option(‘widget_’.$widget_name,$option); } // save our new widget setup $sidebars[‘wp_inactive_widgets’] = $new_inactive; wp_set_sidebars_widgets($sidebars); } The above code limits the … Read more
