So something like: function validate_options($input){ //do regular validation stuff //… //… //get all options $options = get_option(THEMENAME . ‘_settings’); //update only the neede options foreach … Read more
Mark Jaquith made a “TLC Transients” method that you might find useful. Essentially, it implements a transient interface that does soft expiration and background updating. https://github.com/markjaquith/WP-TLC-Transients The idea is that you define a function to do the call that gets the data, then define the transient and pass it that function as a callback. When … Read more
The function is update_recently_edited in wp-admin/includes/misc.php. unfortunately it is fixed at 5: function update_recently_edited( $file ) { $oldfiles = (array) get_option( ‘recently_edited’ ); if ( $oldfiles ) { $oldfiles = array_reverse( $oldfiles ); $oldfiles[] = $file; $oldfiles = array_reverse( $oldfiles ); $oldfiles = array_unique( $oldfiles ); if ( 5 < count( $oldfiles )) array_pop( $oldfiles … Read more
The delete_option() function will return false if the option does not exist. The update_option() function will return false if the option already has the same value as what you’re trying to update it to. Both will also return false if the SQL query itself fails for whatever reason.
You can use is_plugin_active_for_network( $plugin )
Use add_submenu_page instead. <?php add_submenu_page( $parent_slug, $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function ); ?> $parent_slug should be one of the following For Dashboard: add_submenu_page( ‘index.php’, … ); Also see add_dashboard_page() For Posts: add_submenu_page( ‘edit.php’, … ); Also see Also see add_posts_page() For Media: add_submenu_page( ‘upload.php’, … ); Also see add_media_page() For Links: add_submenu_page( ‘link-manager.php’, … ); … Read more
After digging in the setting API I found the answer. Method 1 was correct, but the notification should not be done by hooking to admin_notices, rather by the function add_settings_error add_action (‘pre_update_option_my_var’, function( $new_value, $old_value) { //Do my validation $valid = ( ‘correct_value’ == $new_value ); if ( !$valid ) { //This fixes the issue … Read more
// Adds ‘ALL’ options page – only accessible for admins and custom roles that have the ‘manage_options’ capability. function wpse31956_all_settings_page() { add_options_page( __(‘All’), __(‘All’), ‘manage_options’, ‘options.php’ ); } add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘wpse31956_all_settings_page’ ); Note: As I just saw that me an @ChipBennet posted at nearly the same time: The answer is the same.
The two functions output exactly the same thing. From the Codex entry for get_bloginfo(): ‘name’ – Returns the “Site Title” set in Settings > General. This data is retrieved from the “blogname” record in the wp_options table. From source: case ‘name’: default: $output = get_option(‘blogname’); Neither get_bloginfo() nor bloginfo() do any sort of sanitization or … Read more
Usually I remove the filter, then add it back on afterwards; function _my_custom_option( $option ) { remove_filter( ‘pre_option_name’, ‘_my_custom_option’ ); // do what you like with $option add_filter( ‘pre_option_name’, ‘_my_custom_option’ ); return $option; } add_filter( ‘pre_option_name’, ‘_my_custom_option’ );
