It’s set in schema.php, the WordPress Administration Scheme API. You can also find it in the Codex. As you can see from a search through core, there’s (as far as my search went) exactly no use case for it, aside from defining it as 0 when adding that option to the DB. If you want … Read more
An options framework is designed to make the creation of settings pages for plugins and themes easier. An options (or settings) page is a page in the WordPress Dashboard where the behavior of the theme or plugin can be controlled. For example, themes will often have a settings page to setup color schemes, logos, and … Read more
I think that you have added bguru_options option before. If bguru_options already exists, add_option() does nothing. To modify the value of existing options you should use update_option() instead. EDIT I confirm what I thought. You are running add_option(‘bguru_options’, $default_options); in every admin_init. bguru_options option was added to database in the first run and subsequent calls … Read more
To allow users with capabilities other than manage_options to save a setting you can use the option_page_capability_{$option_page} hook. Despite the name, {$option_page} is the option group, which is what you set for the first argument of register_setting() and settings_fields() on your options page. So if you registered a setting: register_setting( ‘wpse_310606_setting_group’, ‘wpse_310606_setting’ ); You can … Read more
It’s probably not a great idea. Firstly, if you’ve got other field types then you should probably use more appropriate functions. For example, textarea fields should be sanitised with sanitize_textarea_field(), and color pickers should be sanitized with sanitize_hex_color(). You should also consider that $_POST likely also contains fields that you don’t want to save, such … Read more
There will never be such thing as a restriction of where a plugin can place a link that will display a certain page the plugin is registering. It’s just in your scenario that a plugin is registering a settings page and the link normally is named settings as well. As there is no convention or … Read more
<?php echo “<input type=”checkbox” name=”automatic” value=”1″ “.checked(1, get_option(‘automatic’)).” />”; if (get_option(‘automatic’) === ‘1’) { require_once ‘myfile.php’; } ?>
have you ticked the ‘Description’ box under ‘Show advanced menu properties’ in the ‘screen options’ tab in the appearance -> menus page? and have a look at this related post: http://www.kriesi.at/archives/improve-your-wordpress-navigation-menu-output
I’m not sure why it does’t work for you, but the following works in the file wp-content/test.php: <?php // doesn’t make difference to have this or not, for the rest to work define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false ); require( $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] .’/wp-load.php’ ); function my_function() { return ‘hello world’; } $value = my_function(); update_option( ‘my_option’, $value ); var_dump( … Read more
Your best option is likely to copy all the names into your plugin to use for retrieval. Of course, this could change when the plugin is updated. When options are saved in the database using update_option() there’s no indication of which plugin they came from that gets stored anywhere. If the options all use a … Read more
