I’ve created a few fields using the `add_settings_field()` function but I can’t seem to figure out how to put some of them in a group.
I want to be able to group the controls together by a common theme rather than having one big stream of controls with little context between them all. “Hero controls”, “Meta” etc.
Has anyone else done this and if so how? I was initially outputting the group as html but it was being outputted on the top of the page rather than around the controls I was wanting to show.
​
if ( $field[‘type’] === ‘group’ ) {
?>
<div class=”options-group” id=”<?php echo esc_attr( $field[‘id’] ); ?>”>
<h3><?php echo esc_attr( $field[‘label’] ); ?></h3>
<?php
if ( esc_attr( $field[‘description’] ) != ” && esc_attr( $field[‘description’] ) != null ) {
?>
<p class=”description”>
<?php esc_html_e( $field[‘description’], ‘site-settings’ ); ?>
</p>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
foreach ( $field[‘sub’] as $sub_field ) {
// Register a new field in the main section.
add_settings_field(
$sub_field[‘id’], /* ID for the field. Only used internally. To set the HTML ID attribute, use $args[‘label_for’]. */
__( $sub_field[‘label’], ‘site-settings’ ), /* Label for the field. */
[$this, ‘render_field’], /* The name of the callback function. */
‘site-settings’, /* The menu page on which to display this field. */
‘site-settings-section’, /* The section of the settings page in which to show the box. */
[
‘label_for’ => $sub_field[‘id’], /* The ID of the field. */
‘class’ => ‘wporg_row’, /* The class of the field. */
‘field’ => $sub_field, /* Custom data for the field. */
]
);
}
?>
</div>
<?php
} else {
// Register a new field in the main section.
add_settings_field(
$field[‘id’], /* ID for the field. Only used internally. To set the HTML ID attribute, use $args[‘label_for’]. */
__( $field[‘label’], ‘site-settings’ ), /* Label for the field. */
[$this, ‘render_field’], /* The name of the callback function. */
‘site-settings’, /* The menu page on which to display this field. */
‘site-settings-section’, /* The section of the settings page in which to show the box. */
[
‘label_for’ => $field[‘id’], /* The ID of the field. */
‘class’ => ‘wporg_row’, /* The class of the field. */
‘field’ => $field, /* Custom data for the field. */
]
);
}
