## Description

A settings class to help developers easily add beautiful admin pages and handle 
getting, sanitizing, and saving options.

### Update

With the updated release of [Settings Class for WordPress](https://github.com/PolyPlugins/Settings-Class-for-Wordpress),
we do not plan to add new features to this plugin. We will continue to provide fixes,
but adding new functionality would make it difficult to maintain as it would need
to be fully backwards compatible.

Settings Class for WordPress may include breaking changes, but it does not auto 
update, so you won’t have to worry about plugins breaking unexpectedly. You can 
take your time to migrate to the new version, and any breaking changes will be reserved
for major releases.

### About

Our goal was to create a reuseable admin panel that can be used by various plugins
without having to build or include classes of the same code in multiple plugins,
while at the same time being quick to setup.

View our [Documentation](https://www.polyplugins.com/docs/reusable-admin-panel/)
to see a list of fields and their parameters.

You can also download our [example plugin](https://www.polyplugins.com/reusable-admin-panel-example-plugin/)
to get up and running as quick as possible.
