Getting Started

1. Include admin-page-framework.php that is located in the classes folder into your theme or plugin.

if ( !class_exists( 'Admin_Page_Framework' ) )
    include_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/classes/admin-page-framework.php' );

1. Extend the Library Class.

class APF_GettingStarted extends Admin_Page_Framework {
}

1. Define the SetUp() Method.

function SetUp() {
    $this->SetRootMenu( 'Settings' );               // specifies to which parent menu to belong.
    $this->AddSubMenu(  'My First Setting Page',    // page and menu title
                        'my_first_settings_page' ); // page slug
}

1. Define methods for hooks.

function do_my_first_settings_page() {  // do_ + pageslug    
    ?>
    <h3>Say Something</h3>
    <p>This is my first admin page!</p>
    <?php
}

1. Instantiate the Class.

new APF_GettingStarted;

                            'my_first_settings_page' ); // page slug
                            
    }

        <?php
        
    }
    
}
new APF_GettingStarted;
