Problems with custom theme options
-
Hi, i’m trying to add some custom theme options to my theme. I only want one custom theme option right now and that’s to control the page title of the home page with my custom post types on it
In my functions.php I have the following
add_action( 'admin_init', 'theme_options_init' ); add_action( 'admin_menu', 'theme_options_add_page' ); function theme_options_init(){ register_setting( 'sample_options', 'sample_theme_options'); } function theme_options_add_page() { add_theme_page( __( 'Theme Options', 'sampletheme' ), __( 'Theme Options', 'sampletheme' ), 'edit_theme_options', 'theme_options', 'theme_options_do_page' ); } function theme_options_do_page() { global $select_options; if ( ! isset( $_REQUEST['settings-updated'] ) ) $_REQUEST['settings-updated'] = false; ?> <div> <?php screen_icon(); echo "<h2>". __( 'Custom Theme Options', 'customtheme' ) . "</h2>"; if ( false !== $_REQUEST['settings-updated'] ) : ?> <div> <p><strong><?php _e( 'Options saved', 'customtheme' ); ?></strong></p></div> <?php endif; ?> <form method="post" action="options.php"> <?php settings_fields( 'sample_options' ); $options = get_option( 'sample_theme_options' ); ?> <table> <tr valign="top"><th scope="row"> <?php _e( 'Specials Page Title', 'customtheme' ); ?></th> <td> <input id="sample_theme_options[special]" type="text" name="sample_theme_options[special]" value="<?php esc_attr_e( $options['special'] ); ?>" /> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <input type="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Save Options', 'customtheme' ); ?>" /> </p> </form> </div> <?php } in my header.php I put the following right before </head> <?php $options = get_option( 'sample_theme_options' ); ?>
On my index.php I have the following above the loop as to not keep looping around with each post.
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo $options['special']; ?></h1>
In the dashboard, everything saves as it’s supposed to, but on the homepage, nothing shows up between the
<h1 class="entry-title"></h1> tags.
Can someone please advise? This is the first time i’ve created custom theme options within my theme.
