• So, I’m using a brand new install of the latest WordPress, no other plugins, just a development test.

    What are the most common reasons of pages being sent to a blank options.php after saving changes? The data is saved, I can see it afterwards, and it saves to the tables… So I have no idea what’s up. Other than that, there’s no other errors being thrown out.

    Another note. I’ve tried the sample plugin option pages form they give you in the codex, and it’s still the same blank page.

    This one to be exact:

    <?php
    // create custom plugin settings menu
    add_action('admin_menu', 'baw_create_menu');
    
    function baw_create_menu() {
    
    	//create new top-level menu
    	add_menu_page('BAW Plugin Settings', 'BAW Settings', 'administrator', __FILE__, 'baw_settings_page',plugins_url('/images/icon.png', __FILE__));
    
    	//call register settings function
    	add_action( 'admin_init', 'register_mysettings' );
    }
    
    function register_mysettings() {
    	//register our settings
    	register_setting( 'baw-settings-group', 'new_option_name' );
    	register_setting( 'baw-settings-group', 'some_other_option' );
    	register_setting( 'baw-settings-group', 'option_etc' );
    }
    
    function baw_settings_page() {
    ?>
    <div class="wrap">
    <h2>Your Plugin Name</h2>
    
    <form method="post" action="options.php">
        <?php settings_fields( 'baw-settings-group' ); ?>
        <table class="form-table">
            <tr valign="top">
            <th scope="row">New Option Name</th>
            <td><input type="text" name="new_option_name" value="<?php echo get_option('new_option_name'); ?>" /></td>
            </tr>
    
            <tr valign="top">
            <th scope="row">Some Other Option</th>
            <td><input type="text" name="some_other_option" value="<?php echo get_option('some_other_option'); ?>" /></td>
            </tr>
    
            <tr valign="top">
            <th scope="row">Options, Etc.</th>
            <td><input type="text" name="option_etc" value="<?php echo get_option('option_etc'); ?>" /></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    
        <p class="submit">
        <input type="submit" class="button-primary" value="<?php _e('Save Changes') ?>" />
        </p>
    
    </form>
    </div>
    <?php } ?>

    Again, it’s still saving, just throwing a blank page afterwards. So I’m thinking, whatever’s missing in the example, just needs to be added to my plugin page aswell.

    Anyone know?

    I am having the same problem with my plug-in. It works as I expect but it throws a blank page.

    Just like you, I followed the example of the codex page.

    I am running v2.9.2.

    Did you ever solve this?

    it’s because there’s whitespace at the end of the document.

    I had 3 extra lines at the bottom of my functions.php after the last ?> & I was getting the blank page stuck on options.php…
