Download the PHP package mattpatterson94/mpwp-settings without Composer

MPWP SETTINGS WORDPRESS PLUGIN

This plugin was created to add generic settings pages to wordpress sites, to reduce repetition.

How it works

This plugin installs Advanced Custom Fields when running composer install, in order to create options pages for any wordpress site this plugin is activated on. This makes starting out new wordpress sites a lot easier, and you don't have to create any standard wordpress options pages.

Current Options

These are the current option pages set up currently.

• Theme settings
  • General
  • Social media
  • Footer settings
  • Slides

Current Shortcodes

There are shortcodes available via this plugin that can be used in the theme.

• General
  • [mpwp-setting setting="example"]
  • [logo]
  • [phone-number]
  • [email-address]
• Social media
  • [social-url product="example"]
• Footer settings
  • [copyright-text]

Adding new options

To create a new options page, there's a few lines of code needed.

• Create a new options file in options for the new page
• Refer to this guide for setting up a new option page, or look at an existing one in the plugin

Creating option fields

• To create the fields for the options page, log into the wordpress site you're currently developing.
• Install ACF if it's not already installed.
• Create the fields you want to add to the options page.
• Export the fields as PHP in the export menu, within ACF.
• Paste the code it gives you into the options file you created.
• Look for location in the code you pasted in.

• Replace location with the following:

• Replace OPTIONSPAGE with the name of the options page.
• If any issues, refer to current options pages for reference.
