Use the Settings API to whitelist a setting, but don’t output it

Can someone tell me where I’ve gone wrong with this plugin’s Settings page?
So having another look at this again today it occurred to me that it definitely must be an issue with settings_opts_page. In the light of a new day the answer is obvious, clearly settings_fields and do_settings_sections are intended to echo their contents and this is breaking the page render and seeing the form and contents … Read more

settings api sub menu and data not populating
I don’t know anything about the WeDevs thing, but I do kinda know the Settings API itself. That being said I have a shot in the dark answer. In your wedevs_plugin_page() function, do the methods on the $settings_api object need a parameter for which settings section to display? Like $settings_api->show_navigation(‘wedevs_basic’);? Or maybe the object instantiation … Read more
Saving array of data to database using wordpress settings API
It would be good if you added your code to see more or less what you want to do. You can not pass it that way, because when using the Settings API you must add fields of a single value and are registered with the function add_settings_field(). I do not understand very well what you … Read more
update_option_$option action not working as expected
Looks like update_option_{$option} will only fire on updated options, ie, not brand-new ones. Reading the code for update_option(), I see this: /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/option.php */ if ( apply_filters( “default_option_{$option}”, false, $option, false ) === $old_value ) { // Default setting for new options is ‘yes’. if ( null === $autoload ) … Read more
Is it possible to get a list of options for a specific options group?
Because the group is not the same as a category or taxonomy. It’s used to determine where that settings UI control is displayed in the WP Admin area. e.g. the value general is for the general settings admin screen, not because it’s a general options group. Until the introduction of the settings endpoint and the … Read more

The confusion here though, is that … Read more
Why aren’t these WordPress options being saved to the database correctly?
The options are not being saved correctly because you used the wrong input name — it should match the second parameter for register_setting(). So for example, with register_setting(‘myplugin_options_group’, ‘api_username’), the input name should be api_username, but then you used myplugin_api_username. Additionally, it should be noted that screen_icon() has long been deprecated.
