Plugin settings not saving

the problem is you keep resting the values here: $options = array( ‘cemb_seminar_seminars_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_showcases_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_writers_college’ > ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_aet_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_mbu_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_eis_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_sng_college’ => ‘0’, ); update_option( ‘cemb_seminar_options’, $options ); change it to $options = get_option(‘cemb_seminar_options’); if ($options === false){ $options = array( ‘cemb_seminar_seminars_college’ => ‘0’, ‘cemb_seminar_showcases_college’ … Read more

Output ‘do_settings_sections()’ as tabs, not one under the other

So because I couldn’t find an out of the box way, I created this. Don’t forget to enqueue the jquery-ui-tabs script – /** Replace the call to ‘do_settings_sections()’ with a call to this function */ function do_settings_sections_tabs($page){ global $wp_settings_sections, $wp_settings_fields; if(!isset($wp_settings_sections[$page])) : return; endif; echo ‘<div id=”abb-tabs”>’; echo ‘<ul>’; foreach((array)$wp_settings_sections[$page] as $section) : if(!isset($section[‘title’])) continue; … Read more

Why can’t I use “%s” format value in the WordPress function checked?

Because the order of operations means you’re passing that variable into your checked function before the printf function is even being run, which is what’s parsing the enumerated variables. Here’s a possible solution haven’t tested it though: printf( ‘<input type=”checkbox” id=”%2$s” name=”%1$s[%2$s]” %3$s)’. ‘<label for=”%2$s”>%4$s</label>’ . ‘<hr />’, $args[‘option_name’], $args[‘name’], checked(“on”, $args[‘value’], false ), $args[‘description’] … Read more

site identity section name?

The “Site Identity” section has the ID of title_tagline for historical reasons. If you want to see the IDs for the core sections, all you have to do is look at the source for WP_Customize_Manager::register_controls(). Alternatively, you can get a list of all the sections registered, whether by core or by plugins, by opening your … Read more

How to get bool with `get_option()` when already registered setting with type `boolean`

The type argument is only relevant for the REST API and relatively new. If you want it to be enforced on get_option() you will need your own helper function, as you’ve noticed. This is probably for backwards compatibility reasons. I would avoid attempting to enforce this for all get_options() calls via a filter, and stick … Read more

GET parameters interfere with my plugin settings

Why does the Settings API send those parameters when submitting the settings form? Quite frankly, it doesn’t. As you already mentioned, your form simply POST’s to options.php, which in turn handles the request, updates the database, and then redirects back to the referer. How the referer is fetched is down to the function wp_get_referer(); function … Read more

Using the Settings API, how should I add multiple values to an option?

Get the option, modify only the values you need to modify in it, then return the results. function tccl_settings_option_validate( $input ) { $options = get_option(‘tccl_settings_option’); // modify $options using data from $input as needed return $options; }

Settings not set after calling register_setting()

register_setting does not insert anything in the database. It’s supposed to be run in admin_init, not just on activation, and is for building options pages with the Settings API and handles things like sanitisation and permissions when saving options in the admin. If you want to add some default option values to the database on … Read more

Wp die causing 500 Internal Server Error?

Use die($msg); to do what you’re trying to do. wp_die() returns an HTTP error code and passes your message to the error page, and the default code is 500 (internal server error) if you don’t set the return code in the args.

Getting settings saved two times in settings page with tab

The culprit is: <?php settings_errors(); ?> It isn’t needed and will produce a second “Settings saved.” notification if there are no errors. Edited for formatting.
