Simple Settings

To make a new setting, click Simple Settings in the WordPress admin menu, then click Add New . Give your setting a name, type, and content, then click Publish .

To delete a setting, click on the setting name to edit it, then click Move to Trash on the next screen.

Currently, this plugin supports the ability to create text and boolean settings. Text settings will return a string and boolean settings will return true or false.

Yes it can! It’s also handy for adding third-party JavaScript widgets to posts or pages.

A slug is a unique computer-readable name for each setting that is created. Slugs are used by the get_setting() function and by token replacement.

To use a setting in your template, first create the setting (i.e. “My Setting”), then paste the code below into your template. Remember to change the example slug to the one for your setting!

<?php echo get_setting('my_setting'); ?>

Alternatively, you can also use the value of a setting to affect the output of a page. For example:

<?php if (get_setting('do_something') == true) { echo 'Doing something!'; } else { echo 'Not doing something.'; } ?>

To use token replacement via the WYSIWYG, first create the setting (i.e. “My Setting”), edit the page you would like your setting to be displayed on, paste the text below into the WYSIWYG, and save. The plugin will automatically replace the token with the corresponding setting value when viewing the page. It’s as easy as that! Remember to change the example slug to the one for your setting!

{my_setting}
