Whats wrong with this code? Im trying to add Multiple Option Page.
Please advice…do u have any sample code for this?

add_filter(‘acf/options_page/settings’,’my_options_page_settings’);

function my_options_page_settings( $options )
{
$options[‘title’] = __(‘Options’);
$options[‘pages’] = array(
__(‘Contact Information’),
__(‘Carousel Slider’)

);
}

Hi @quincypabotoy

Hmmm… your code looks fine, but it’s not working?

Strange. Can you try this function instead:

Thanks

Thanks elliot,

This is exactly what it looks on my function.php

include_once(‘/acf-options-page/acf-options-page.php’);

add_filter(‘acf/options_page/settings’,’my_options_page_settings’);

function my_options_page_settings( $options )
{
$options[‘title’] = __(‘Options’);
$options[‘pages’] = array(
__(‘Contact Information’),
__(‘Carousel Slider’)

);
}

And also this is the code u suggested (function.php)

include_once(‘/acf-options-page/acf-options-page.php’);

if( function_exists(‘acf_add_options_sub_page’) )
{
acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
‘title’ => ‘Footer’,
‘parent’ => ‘options-general.php’,
‘capability’ => ‘manage_options’
));
}

Both return an error… Forgive me if i’m too damn for doing this code.. Im a Front-end / Graphic Designer.

Hi there, I had a similar problem. Are you putting the code into your theme’s function.php rather than the core wordpress function.php?

hi Silveredge, yes its a function.php which is inside my theme directory…

Maybe thats the problem?

Hi @quincypabotoy

Can you confirm that the options page add-on is being correctly included?

the code:
include_once(‘/acf-options-page/acf-options-page.php’);

suggests that the add-on is in the root of your server. Is this correct?

hmm, the folder which contain the acf-option-page.php is inside my theme (themes/mytheme/acf-option-page) and the code (include_once(‘/acf-options-page/acf-options-page.php’);) is place in my function.php (themes/mytheme/function.php).

thanks

Hi @quincypabotoy

Thanks for the info. Yes, your code is pointing to the wrong path.
Just remove the initial / to make the path relative instead of absolute

if( function_exists(‘acf_add_options_sub_page’) )
{
acf_add_options_sub_page( ‘Header’ );
}

I’m struggling to follow the settings functions for the options page.
I want to add multiple pages which is fine but is it possible to set a single option page to only be accessed by admin?

Hi @cocomitte

You can use the acf_add_options_sub_page function to add extra options pages.
Each options page added can contain more data than just a title, it can also contain a ‘capability’:

You can also modify the parent capability to set strict permissions on the default menu page:
