I wrote a plugin that has various options and in case the user saves this options a CSS file will be generated. My intention is that the CSS is only created when the options are saved and not when somebody visits the page and the CSS will be created every single time.
I have registered settings and need it to be showed in REST API.
What I would like to do is to add a few custom fields to the general settings.
This is the code that I’m using. It works alright but I just cant figure how to add more fields.
The Professional WordPress Plugin Development book explains in detail how to properly use the Settings API, and it also demonstrates how to add Menus and Submenus, but unfortunately it doesn’t provide any joined-up examples of this. Whilst I’ve managed to get most of it working, I can’t figure out how to properly implement add_settings_error on custom Menu pages. Here is my code:
This is my first wordpress plugin and I’m running a lot of trouble making it work, it almost work fine but I don’t find a way to accomplish this specific thing.
When I use the settings API in a multisite installation and the options page sits at the network level, posting the options to options.php does not work, because the administration page sits at wp-admin/network and WP expects the page to be at wp-admin.
Can you please let me know how I can add a checkbox to Setting API in creating Custom Options Page? I am using the following code to add a txt box which is working perfectly but I am totally confused how to add chechbox to the setting API and options. I just tried ti update the input type to checkbox but I am not sure what to put in Value besides when I save the form the check box still appears unchecked!
I’ve this code:
I have a function like this:
When would it be appropriate to use the settings API, and when would it be better to use the theme customizer?
