For example: * `image` returns `{ id, url, width, height, alt, title }` — empty array when no image selected * `gallery` returns an array of `{ id, url, alt }` rows * `border` returns `{ width, style, color, radius }` * `social_media` returns an array of `{ platform, url }` rows * `repeater` returns an array of row arrays keyed by sub-field id * `gradient_picker` returns a complete CSS `linear-gradient()` string #### White-Label Support ThemePlus is designed to disappear into your theme. Configure `themeplus_framework_config()` with your theme’s name, slug, option key, and icon — your users see your theme’s own settings panel, never “ThemePlus”. **Convention:** section and subsection `icon` takes a FontAwesome name only (`'pen'`). The Icon _field_ default takes the full FontAwesome class (`'fa-solid fa-star'`). The plugin translates its own fallback strings; your theme translates its config strings in your own text domain. #### Google Fonts + Custom Fonts The Typography field includes a searchable browser of 1,899 Google Fonts with live preview, weight and style selection, subset support, and automatic font enqueueing on the frontend. Skip Google Fonts entirely and upload self-hosted fonts (WOFF2, WOFF) via the built-in Custom Fonts module — magic-byte verified, capability-gated, and output into `@font-face` rules automatically. **Note:** Custom fonts are stored as Media Library attachments and are not affected by Reset All or Reset Section — use the per-font Delete button to remove uploaded files. #### Conditional Logic Show or hide any field based on the value of another. Supports 10 operators and three relation formats: **Operators:** `==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`, `contains`, `!contains`, `empty`,`! empty` **Single condition:** ‘required’ => [‘sidebar_position’, ‘==’, ‘left’] **Multiple AND conditions:** ‘required’ => [[‘enable_header’, ‘==’, true], [‘header_style’,‘! =’, ‘minimal’]] **Multiple OR conditions:** ‘required’ => [‘relation’ => ‘OR’, ‘conditions’ => [[‘ mode’, ‘==’, ‘simple’], [‘mode’, ‘==’, ‘expert’]]] **Array value (matches any):** ‘required’ => [‘header_elements’, ‘contains’, ‘search’] **Dot-notation sub-key:** ‘required’ => [‘body_typography.font-family’, ‘==’, ‘ Inter’] **empty / !empty note:** `false` and `0` are NOT considered empty — only truly absent values, empty strings, empty arrays, and `null`. #### Sections and Subsections Organize theme options into a hierarchical sidebar. Add sections with `themeplus_add_section()`, nest subsections inline via the `subsections` key, or attach subsections from a separate hook with `themeplus_add_subsection()` — the pattern for child themes and extension plugins. #### Import / Export Backup and restore all theme settings with one click. Import/Export handles JSON serialization and restores defaults cleanly. #### REST API Full REST API under the `themeplus/v1` namespace — get options, save options, reset all, reset section, get configuration. All endpoints require the configured capability( default `edit_theme_options`) with nonce verification. Options are sanitized per field type before storage. #### Developer Panel Enable dev mode (`define('THEMEPLUS_DEV', true)`) to access a Developer Panel showing every registered field with its current value, PHP data type, and copy-ready code snippets for all three access patterns. Includes field statistics by type and section. #### Security * All saved options pass through a per-field-type sanitizer (`ThemePlus_Sanitizer`)— unknown keys are dropped, values are validated against registered field configuration * REST endpoints are capability-gated with nonce verification * Font uploads are MIME-type and magic-byte verified * Output is escaped at every render point #### GPL Licensed — Free Forever ThemePlus is GPL-2.0-or-later — the same license as WordPress itself. Use it in personal projects, client work, and commercial ThemeForest themes without restriction. ### External Services This plugin can optionally connect to Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) when a Typography field is configured to use a Google Font. The selected font family name is sent to Google’s servers to load the font stylesheet. * Google Fonts is only requested when a typography field value contains a Google Font name — it is never loaded by default * No personal data is sent — only font family names and subset preferences * Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * Google Fonts Terms: https://developers.google.com/fonts/terms To avoid any Google Fonts requests entirely, use only system fonts or upload self- hosted fonts via the Custom Fonts module. ## Screenshots [⌊ThemePlus admin panel — clean, modern React UI with sidebar navigation⌉⌊ThemePlus admin panel — clean, modern React UI with sidebar navigation⌉[ ThemePlus admin panel — clean, modern React UI with sidebar navigation [⌊All 30 field types — complete field type overview⌉⌊All 30 field types — complete field type overview⌉[ All 30 field types — complete field type overview [⌊Typography field — Google Fonts browser with live preview and subset selection⌉⌊ Typography field — Google Fonts browser with live preview and subset selection⌉[ Typography field — Google Fonts browser with live preview and subset selection [⌊Custom Fonts module — upload and manage self-hosted WOFF2/WOFF fonts⌉⌊Custom Fonts module — upload and manage self-hosted WOFF2/WOFF fonts⌉[ Custom Fonts module — upload and manage self-hosted WOFF2/WOFF fonts [⌊Conditional logic — fields shown and hidden based on other field values⌉⌊Conditional logic — fields shown and hidden based on other field values⌉[ Conditional logic — fields shown and hidden based on other field values [⌊Import/Export — one-click backup and restore of all settings⌉⌊Import/Export — one-click backup and restore of all settings⌉[ Import/Export — one-click backup and restore of all settings [⌊Developer Panel — field metadata, current values, and code snippets⌉⌊Developer Panel — field metadata, current values, and code snippets⌉[ Developer Panel — field metadata, current values, and code snippets ## Installation #### From WordPress.org 1. Go to **Plugins Add New** 2. Search for **ThemePlus** 3. Click **Install Now** then **Activate** #### Upload ZIP 1. Download `themeplus.zip` from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/fronttheme/themeplus/releases) 2. Go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin** 3. Upload the ZIP and activate #### After Activation ThemePlus does nothing on its own — it is a framework for theme developers. To add a settings panel to your theme: 1. Copy `includes/config/sample-config.php` from the plugin into your theme (rename` my_theme_` prefixes to your own) 2. Include it in `functions.php`: `require_once get_template_directory() . '/inc/themeplus- config.php';` 3. Configure `themeplus_framework_config()` with your theme’s details 4. Add sections and fields using `themeplus_add_section()` 5. Retrieve values with `themeplus_get_option('field_id')` ## FAQ ### Is ThemePlus really free? Yes, completely. ThemePlus is open-source and GPL-2.0-or-later. There are no premium tiers, no feature locks, and no license keys. ### Can ThemePlus replace my current theme options framework? ThemePlus provides 30 field types, white-label support, conditional logic, Google Fonts, custom fonts, Import/Export, a REST API, and a Developer Panel — all in a modern React UI. It is designed as a complete, standalone theme options solution for WordPress theme developers. ### Does it work with PHP 8.0+? Yes. ThemePlus requires PHP 8.0 or higher and uses PHP 8 type hints, union types, and named arguments throughout. ### How do I retrieve an option value in my theme? $value = themeplus_get_option( ‘field_id’, ‘default_value’ ); For structured fields like image, border, or repeater, the return value is an array— see the field shapes in the Description section above. ### What is the correct way to use the icon field vs section icons? Section and subsection `icon` takes a FontAwesome **name only**: `'pen'`, `'palette'`,`' code'`. The Icon **field** `default` takes the **full FontAwesome class**: `'fa- solid fa-star'`, `'fa-brands fa-github'`. The picker modal handles selection in the UI — the default is only the stored fallback. ### Can I use ThemePlus in a ThemeForest theme? Yes. ThemePlus is GPL-licensed and can be bundled with commercial themes. The recommended approach for ThemeForest is TGM Plugin Activation so buyers can install it from your theme package. ### Does it support multisite? The plugin activates per-site. The uninstall routine cleans up options across all sites on the network. ### Why are my custom fonts not reset when I click Reset All? Custom fonts are uploaded files stored in the Media Library — not option values. Reset All and Reset Section only affect your option values. Use the Delete button in the Custom Fonts section to remove uploaded font files. This is intentional: resetting settings should never silently delete uploaded assets. ### Does the Typography field load Google Fonts automatically? Yes. Any typography field set to a Google Font is automatically enqueued on the frontend via a combined Google Fonts URL. System fonts and custom uploaded fonts are detected and excluded from the Google Fonts request automatically. ### What is the Developer Panel? When `define('THEMEPLUS_DEV', true)` is added to `wp-config.php`, a Developer Panel appears in the sidebar showing every registered field with its current saved value, PHP data type, dependency metadata, and code snippets for `themeplus_get_option()`, direct array access, and `themeplus_update_option()`. Remove the constant on production sites. ### Can I add a subsection from a child theme or extension plugin? Yes — use `themeplus_add_subsection( 'parent_section_id', [ ...subsection config...])` from your own `init` hook (priority 20 or later, after the parent section is registered). This is the recommended pattern for child themes and addon plugins extending a parent theme’s panel. ### Does ThemePlus support empty/!empty conditional logic on false and 0? No — intentionally. `false` and `0` are NOT considered empty. Only truly absent values, empty strings, empty arrays, and `null` trigger `empty`. This matches PHP’s` empty()` semantics for booleans and integers, which is the least surprising behavior for theme developers. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ThemePlus – Modern Theme Options Framework by FrontTheme” is open source software.
