Redux Options Framework v3.0.0 Beta

Wordpress options framework which uses the WordPress Settings API, Custom Error/Validation Handling, Custom Field/Validation Types, and import/export functionality.

Please help us beta test. As soon as the community verifies there are no bugs, we will release.

Getting Started with Redux

ReduxFramework has been built as a auto-updating plugin. For now, during beta, the plugin will prompt you for an update each time a new commit occurs.

To install the plugin, just download the master branch zip file, and install as you would any other Wordpress plugin.

Setting up Redux

Inside the zip file is a sample folder. Copy this into your theme or plugin directory. DO NOT modify anything within the plugin or you will all your work at each update.

Include the sample-config.php file in your theme functions.php or plugin as follows:

require_once('path/to/copied/sample/sample-config.php');

Edit sample-config.php as needed.

FAQs

1. Why should we use require_once instead of get_template_part?

• First, because get_template_part is for... you guessed it, themes! Redux is designed to work with both themes and plugins.
• Second, read this.

2. Why shouldn't we edit sample-config.php in the plugin directory?

• Because sample-config.php will be replaced at each update of the plugin. You will lose all your effort
