The $input variable is not passed to the validate function by default. You need to declare it, e.g. not this: function mytheme_validate_settings() {} But rather, this: function mytheme_validate_settings( $input ) {} (Or maybe I’m the only one who’s made that bone-headed mistake before?) 🙂 EDIT: The other thing to check: does the $optiongroup in register_setting() … Read more
Since the TwentyEleven theme also includes some default padding and a border for (fluid) images (see CSS below), a width of 100% would push the image outside of its container’s width. This is because of how the box model works: border and padding are added to the width/height. img[class*=”align”], img[class*=”wp-image-“], #content .gallery .gallery-icon img { … Read more

The CSS classes are applied in the function dynamic_sidebar(). There is no specific filter for that: // Substitute HTML id and class attributes into before_widget $classname_ = ”; foreach ( (array) $wp_registered_widgets[$id][‘classname’] as $cn ) { if ( is_string($cn) ) $classname_ .= ‘_’ . $cn; elseif ( is_object($cn) ) $classname_ .= ‘_’ . get_class($cn); } … Read more
You can view the template part by using get_template_part($slug) It’s one of those hidden gems inside of WordPress that don’t get the attention they deserve. The get_template_part function is essentially a PHP include or require, on steroids: It already knows where your theme is located and it will look for the requested file in that … Read more
Ultimately it’s about maintainability and readability. Functions.php is good for adding just that – functions. Small snippets of code that modify or add to the theme. When you start getting into classes or building some kind of framework, you need to start separating your concerns whether that be moving them into a plugin or simply … Read more
Thank you all for your help and direction. I decided to go a different route, using a post category for the home page sections. It is not exactly what I wanted to do but seemed the most expedient way to achieve the end result I was looking for. It is easy for the client to … Read more

The function _set($number) stores this ID number attached to the base identifier string of the widget. Then, the … Read more
You’re actually calling the add_meta_box() function before it’s defined, when you run this directly: \ci\wp\Metaboxes::addMetabox( ‘front_page_slide_settings’, ‘Slide settings’, ‘page’, ‘normal’, ‘high’ ); You don’t mention where you run it, but it’s too early or you run it in the front-end, where add_meta_box() is not defined. The add_meta_box() function is defined within this file: /** WordPress … Read more
