Changing Options on the Styles Menu

[spyke01]

I am trying to change the “Body Style” option and possibly a few others but for some reason my code isn’t working. I was successfully able to add other tabs just not edit this one.

Here’s my test code:

themeblvd_edit_option( 'styles', 'main_styles', 'body_style', 'options', array(
		'light' 		=> __( 'Light', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ),
		'dark' 			=> __( 'Dark', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN ),
		'grey' 			=> __( 'Grey', TB_GETTEXT_DOMAIN )
	)
);

Any ideas on why this isn’t working?

Hello,

The reason is because the current function alyeska_options that sets all of these options up in /includes/theme-functions.php, is hooked to after_setup_theme. So when you place your call to the themeblvd_edit_option in your Child theme’s functions.php, you’re not actually overriding anything because the body_style option hasn’t technically been created yet.

In your Child theme’s functions.php after the framework is included, you need to wrap your overrides like this in a function that’s hooked in later in the WordPress loading process:

function my_options(){
	// themeblvd_edit_option ...
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_options' );

Thanks, that worked perfectly. Also on a related note is there a option type which allows to upload an image for that field? The “logo” type is overkill for what I need.

Yup. There is an option type called “upload” — I’m just not using it anywhere, but it is there if you want to use it.

Once again, exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
