options - Run function on settings save

admin管理员组

文章数量:1130349

I am using the Settings API for a plugin's settings page. One of the settings allows the user to change the cron job interval for the cron job created by this plugin.

Therefore I'd like to run a function on saving of the settings page, which checks the value in the database and compares it to the value the existing cron job has. If they are different, the cron job should be recreated.

Is my logic right, and if so how can I run such a function after the plugin settings have been saved?

• it sounds like you are looking for callbacks? – Jesse Commented Mar 4, 2013 at 4:58
• @Jesse I think it's a hook I need. – urok93 Commented Mar 4, 2013 at 5:01

I'm not familiar with wordpress settings api but I know those options generated by settings api are handled/saved in wp-admin/options.php

Unfortunately,

if ( isset( $_POST[ $option ] ) ) {
        $value = $_POST[ $option ];
    if ( ! is_array( $value ) )
        $value = trim( $value );
    $value = stripslashes_deep( $value );
}
update_option( $option, $value );

as you can see, no hook before update_option.

But there is a workaround:

add_settings_field('..','..','callback');

function callback(){
   if($_GET['settings-updated']=='true'){
        //do your cron update stuff here.
   }
   echo 'output <input or something';
}

Not very elegant though.

The correct answer is to add_action after an option as been updated.
