Register Settings API

Add settings to your own theme or plugin. As simple as writing an array.

Daniel Convissor

<p>Gives authors of new plugins a leg up on creating a great, easy to maintain plugin by providing a carefully designed plugin skeleton to build on. Authors of existing plugins can extract individual components and concepts for transplantation into their own projects.</p>
<ul>
<li>Clean, object-oriented design</li>
<li>PHPUnit tests</li>
<li>Admin screen uses the Settings API</li>
<li>Multisite support</li>
<li>Creates a table during activation</li>
<li>Drops the table and settings during deactivation</li>
<li>Uses WordPress’ i18n and provides scripts for generating the gettext files</li>
<li>Installation instructions have a script for renaming files, classes and IDs</li>
</ul>
<p>See the FAQ section for more details about this plugin’s features.</p>
<p>Development of this plugin template happens on <a href="https://github.com/convissor/oop-plugin-template-solution" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.

there. Releases are then squashed and pushed to WordPress’ <a href="https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/oop-plugin-template-solution/" rel="nofollow ugc">Plugins SVN repository</a>. This division is necessary due having being chastised that “the Plugins SVN repository is a release system, not a development system.”</p>
