<p>Allows you to create custom options that you can easily update via the <code>Options</code> administration panel and also allows you to use mentioned options in your theme using a simple PHP function:</p>
<pre><code>get_custom_option ( $slug [, $default_value, $field ] )
</code></pre>
<p>By default, only Administrators can change Custom Options, however you can use the filter <code>gsp_custom_options_capability</code> to change that. For example, if you wish to allow Editors to use Custom Options you can add this to your functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>function custom_options_capability ($capability) {
    return 'publish_pages';
}
add_filter ( 'gsp_custom_options_capability', 'custom_options_capability' );
</code></pre>
<p>Very simple, yet efficient.</p>

<p>Create your own custom variables to manage information on your website such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Phone numbers</li>
<li>Addresses</li>
<li>Social media links</li>
<li>HTML snippets</li>
<li>And anything else<br />
test</li>
</ul>
<p>Easily access them globally in WordPress and PHP.</p>
<h4>Why you need it</h4>
<p>Rather than having to change something like an email address across multiple pages, you can do it in one place. Avoid the pitfalls of hard coding information in your WordPress theme that is likely to change.</p>
<h4>Why it’s better</h4>
<ul>
<li>Your variables are stored and retrieved locally without any calls to the database. That means faster load times for your pages!</li>
<li>Variables can be accessed easily in PHP from the global scope.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Display your variables using the shortcode syntax:</p>
<pre><code>[cgv variable-name]
</code></pre>
<p>Or using the superglobal in PHP:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo $GLOBALS['cgv']['variable-name'] ?>
</code></pre>


Custom Global Variables
