<p>Toggles human and machine language (aka ID-s) on admin pages.</p>
<h4>Only for development!</h4>
<p>This plugin shows you the ID-s of almost all form fields including selects, checkboxes and radio buttons like in <code>wp-admin/options.php</code>.</p>
<p>It works only on WordPress Settings API-like formatted — not necessarily API generated — admin pages. E.g. <code><input></code> elements cannot be wrapped in <code><span></code>.</p>
<h4>Activation</h4>
<p>You can find the plugin’s checkbox in standard Screen Options (upper right corner). This checkbox could be overwritten — thus hidden — by poorly written plugins. To restrict Machine Language to a certain admin page, copy this to your <code>wp-config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'MACHINE_LANGUAGE_HOOK', 'load-options-reading.php' ); </code></pre>
<p>For example this line causes to run only on Settings / Reading.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Basically all input ID-s are displayed in place of labels, actually <code>for</code> attributes of labels</li>
<li><code>select</code>-s get a title showing all option values comma separated (hover over <code>select</code>-s with your mouse)</li>
<li><code>option</code>-s get values appended in the form of “original option text|value”</li>
<li>Radio button labels will show: “name|value”</li>
<li>Descriptions (<code>p</code>-s and <code>span</code>-s with “description” class) will be hidden, this way Machine Language will clean up all admin pages, descriptions are hidden by CSS, so there’s no <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_of_unstyled_content" rel="nofollow ugc">FOUC</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Other notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Radio buttons or checkboxes with empty value are displayed with the “Empty Set” Unicode character: “? ” (U+2205) ( e.g. Settings / Permalinks / Default )</li>
<li><code>select</code>-s with empty values are not</li>
<li>The plugin’s checkbox in Screen Options is effective immediately</li>
<li>The code is designed as a must use plugin, so there is no separated Javascript or CSS file</li>
<li>State of Machine Language is saved as a user option so it is a per user setting</li>
</ul>

<p>Development goes on on <a href="https://github.com/szepeviktor/machine-language" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>


Machine Language

<p>With this plugin, you can create your own variables and use them in WordPress site. It is much more convenient when you update your variables. For example, your contact phone number displays in four places on your site. When you need to update your phone number, you have to find each of them and edit them one by one. With this plugin, you only need to edit it once at the control panel. You can put the shortcode anywhere on your website.</p>


Custom Variables

Custom Variables provides an convenient way of setting WordPress global options. You can use it anywhere on your WordPress site.
