# Checkbox issue in wp-admin

 * I am creating a wordpress theme with a theme management page in wp-admin where
   there is an option to give the author (me) credit by a linkback. This is done
   using a checkbox. All options are working fine even the checkbox…. BUT it always
   shows “unchecked” in the theme option page even when the condition is true.
 * Please help me solve this issue.
 * Codes:
 *     ```
       array(	"name" => "Show Credit",
       	"desc" => "This is if you wish to show Author's Credit",
       	"id" => $shortname."_credita",
       	"type" => "checkbox",
       	"std" => "true",
       	),
       ```
   
 * **Theme Option page HTML**
 *     ```
       case "checkbox":
       ?><tr>
       <td width="20%" rowspan="2" valign="top"><strong><?php echo $value['name']; ?></strong></td>
       <td width="80%"><? if(get_settings($value['id'])){ $checked = "checked=\"checked\""; }else{ $checked = ""; } ?>
       <input type="checkbox" name="<?php echo $value['id']; ?>" id="<?php echo $value['id']; ?>" value="true" <?php echo $checked; ?> />
       </td></tr>
       ```
