Theme AND plugin integration

Hi

I successfully use the ACF Pro plugin as an options framework for my premium theme. Now I had an idea to code a plugin for further features which people can purchase as an addon.

My question is: Is it possible to add another sub-page to the options page just by activating this plugin? If so, how? Do I need to implement ACF there again?

My first attempts haven’t been successful.

Thanks in advance,
Jakob

You need to add the options page during init. This insures that the acf function exists before you try to create the options page.

add_action('init', 'add_my_options_page');
function add_my_options_page() {
    // code to add options page here
}

Works like a charm, thx!
