I have a theme that I'm developing from an HTML template I have. I'm also designing an options page along with a plethora of plugins built-into the theme itself. I've chosen a tabbed interface and I'm trying to learn how to use WordPress' Settings API.

I'm using a class structure for the theme's functions. The following is the declaration of registering settings and whatnot.

public function __admin_init() { register_setting( 'cncfps_twitter', 'cncfps_twitter_options', array( &$this, 'wp_cncfps_twitter' ) ); add_settings_section( 'cncfps_twitter', 'Twitter', array( &$this, 'wp_cncfps_twitter' ), 'cncfps' ); add_settings_field( 'cncfps_twitter_consumer_key', 'Consumer Key', array( &$this, 'twitter_consumer_key' ), 'cncfps', 'cncfps_twitter' ); add_settings_field( 'cncfps_twitter_consumer_secret', 'Consumer Secret', array( &$this, 'twitter_consumer_secret' ), 'cncfps', 'cncfps_twitter' ); add_settings_field( 'cncfps_twitter_apikey', 'API Key', array( &$this, 'twitter_apikey' ), 'cncfps', 'cncfps_twitter' ); } public function wp_cncfps_twitter() { // TODO: wut. ?!?! echo "what is this?"; } public function twitter_consumer_key() { echo "Hello"; } public function twitter_consumer_secret() { echo "World"; }

When I want to display the fields as shown here, I don't see a thing. The following is how I attempt to display them. I did follow a few tutorials but it's just not clicking in my brain for some reason.

settings_fields('cncfps_twitter'); do_settings_sections('cncfps_twitter');

The do_settings_section() function call needs to correspond to the $optiongroup argument you pass to register_setting(). To see how all of the myriad functions fit together, see page 10 of my tutorial.

It does get fairly confusing trying to follow how the various functions string together.

EDIT:

You do appear to be using the option group properly. Can you clarify what is/is not "clicking" for you? You mention in the title that you want to use a tabbed interface, but the question text itself doesn't really indicate where exactly you're running into difficulty.

  • The screenshot should be quite clear. Nothing shows up and the only thing that I can believe is that it doesn't support class-structure. :/ Commented May 31, 2011 at 20:45
  • What screenshot? Commented May 31, 2011 at 21:11
  • The one in my post? O.o Commented May 31, 2011 at 21:40
  • That's really strange; no screenshot appeared for me in your post, until this morning... Commented Jun 1, 2011 at 12:25
  • The difficulty I'm running into is the that nothing shows when I call the do_settings_section/settings_fields functions :\ Commented Jun 3, 2011 at 16:21

I also had a blank page when I tried implementing the suggested code. For some reason, my site didn't like all the double-quotes in this section (from page 3 of Chip's tutorial):

if ( $tab == $current ) : $links[] = "<a class="nav-tab nav-tab-active" href="?page=oenology- settings&tab=$tab">$name</a>"; else : $links[] = "<a class="nav-tab" href="?page=oenology-settings&tab=$tab">$name</a>"; endif;

I had to change it and make use of single quotes:

if ( $tab == $current ) : $links[] = '<a class="nav-tab nav-tab-active" href="?page=oenology-settings&tab=' . $tab . '">' . $name . '</a>'; else : $links[] = '<a class="nav-tab" href="?page=oenology-settings&tab=' . $tab . '">' . $name . '</a>'; endif;

That seemed to fix it for me. I'm not sure if that's the same problem you're facing though.
