Defaults while using Options Framework

    Hi everyone,

    I am having some trouble setting defaults in Options Framework for my wordpress theme. When you install the theme I want my default values, which I’ve set in options.php using the ‘std’ key, to appear on the wordpress site when the theme is installed.

    When I go to theme options, I see the defaults values I set, but they don’t appear until I click the “Save Options” button in the Theme Options tab.

    You can see my dev site before, this is a fresh site with the theme installed and nothing else. I want to make it so that it will show the defaults on a fresh install.

    OK, getting ready to launch my theme!

    One pretty important note though…

    The function for getting defaults is located in funtions.php, so you have to include options.php in the of_get_default function.

    For example, this will render your WP install unusable

    require_once('options.php');
function of_get_default( $option ) {
     $defaults = optionsframework_options();
     if ( isset( $defaults[$option]['std'] ) ) {
          return $defaults[$option]['std'];
     }
     return false; // default if no std is set
}

    What you need to put is this:

    function of_get_default( $option ) {
     require_once('options.php');
     $defaults = optionsframework_options();
     if ( isset( $defaults[$option]['std'] ) ) {
          return $defaults[$option]['std'];
     }
     return false; // default if no std is set
}

    Just worked this out and didn’t want anyone else to make the same mistake

    Hi @jonathanalphonso. It would be better require options.php from your functions file on theme setup. Then it’s available to the function every time its called.

    Hmmm, I used to have the require_once(‘options.php’); outside of the function alongside the rest of the require_once commands. But this broke the site giving me this error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_reset_vars() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\options.php on line 25
