What you (and probably 99% of the theme authors) are trying to do is just wrong. Users should not be expected to know CSS to customize a theme, and if they do need to go into such a low level, the right thing for them to do is to create a child theme and insert … Read more
To answer the first part of your question: your settings form already has the checkbox case covered; so if you add a new checkbox input, you don’t need to add anything to the switch. This code will apply to all checkbox inputs you add: case ‘checkbox’: ?> <input type=”checkbox” name=”vertigo_theme_options[<?php echo esc_attr( $option[‘id’] ); ?>]” … Read more
wp_add_inline_style() is intended to add additional CSS to an existing stylesheet. The idea is that you may need to dynamically alter the stylesheet – for instance, you have user-selected colours associated with categories and you would like to colour each category’s title accordingly. You can’t hardcode this since the colours in question are not known, … Read more
Add Section to Theme Customizer: $wp_customize->add_section( ‘parsmizban_options’, array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Theme Options’, ‘parsmizban’ ), //Visible title of section ‘priority’ => 20, //Determines what order this appears in ‘capability’ => ‘edit_theme_options’, //Capability needed to tweak ‘description’ => __(‘Allows you to customize settings for Theme.’, ‘parsmizban’), //Descriptive tooltip ) ); Add new Setting: $wp_customize->add_setting( ‘bootstrap_theme_name’, //No … Read more

I believe the underlying problem is that the option array keys don’t exist yet. Let’s start here, in your initialization function: if( false == get_option( ‘thanathos_theme_display_options’ ) ) { add_option( ‘thanathos_theme_display_options’ ); } First, this: false == get_option( ‘thanathos_theme_display_options’ ) …should be this: false === get_option( ‘thanathos_theme_display_options’ ) …because you’re expecting an array to be … Read more
Best place is the uploads directory – it’ll be writable by the server, and it’s the defacto directory for storing any user-generated/uploaded files: $dirs = wp_upload_dir(); $path = $dirs[‘basedir’]; // /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
Just an idea: Make a user called ‘Guest’ and look up the user ID When redirecting your potential clients to the admin page, redirect to a script that’s logging in your clients as the guest user (Code #1) Add an WordPress action to disallow the user when logged in as ‘Guest’ and not on customize.php … Read more
creating a custom script that writes to the static CSS file is a bad idea!!! you would need to regenerate the file each time you save any changes. a better solution would be to save all options in an array of options say for example: $MyCSS[‘background_color’] = #009988; $MyCSS[‘background_repeat’] = no-repeat; update_option(‘theme_settings’,$MyCSS); and that why … Read more
