I have modified my callback for adding the checkbox list of categories so that the selected categories are saved in an array instead of separate options.

What you need to do is build your own data validation function. Ozh wrote a great tutorial about this earlier, but here’s the gist of it … Assume your options array is called $my_options and it contains three fields, ‘text’, ‘age’, and ‘isauthorized’. You would still register it the same way: register_setting( ‘my_setting’, ‘my_options’, ‘my_validation_function’ … Read more
You have to call add_settings_section() first, pass a unique ID and assign it to the page (poor name) discussion: add_settings_section( ‘ads_id’, ‘Extra Settings’, ‘ads_description’, ‘discussion’ ); Then register a callback to save your field(s) … // Register a callback register_setting( ‘discussion’, ‘ads’, ‘trim’ ); … and then register one or more fields: // Register the … 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

Here’s an updated version of your original code, which solves the saving issue. The reason that the content inside of the WP Editor was not saving was due to the value of the textarea_name parameter passed to wp_editor(). This is wrong: ‘textarea_name’ => ‘pw_intro’, It should look like this: ‘textarea_name’ => ‘pw_settings[pw_intro]’, I also removed … Read more
Try this. Please change the field name with yours <?php class MySettingsPage { /** * Holds the values to be used in the fields callbacks */ private $options; /** * Start up */ public function __construct() { add_action( ‘admin_menu’, array( $this, ‘add_plugin_page’ ) ); add_action( ‘admin_init’, array( $this, ‘page_init’ ) ); } /** * Add … Read more
Instead of using add_settings_section() and add_settings_field() every time, create a function that returns an array of options for example: function my_theme_options() { $options = array(); $options[] = array( ‘id’ => ‘ID’, ‘title’ => ‘Title’, ‘type’ => ‘text_field’, // use this value to sanitize/validate input ‘validate’ => ‘url’ // use this value to validate the text … Read more
Use the filter update_option_{$option}. It runs after a successful saving. $option is the name of your option, and you get the old and the new value as parameters. From wp-includes/option.php: do_action( “update_option_{$option}”, $oldvalue, $_newvalue ); Use it like this for an option wpse_themesettings: add_action( ‘update_option_wpse_themesettings’, ‘wpse_check_settings’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_check_settings( $old_value, $new_value ) { … Read more
