Thank you all in advance for any information and help!
I'm trying to make a plugin that creates an admin page on my Wordpress site that will allow me to display custom content without hard coding it into the theme every time I need to change it.
I want to create an admin page with form inputs that I can enter information into(text, urls, images) that I can then echo into locations across my theme.
I've done something similar with a plugin I made to show metabox fields for my single.php blog posts. This allowed me to put things into my post like, subtitles, author names, and images.
I used this page as a reference to create that. https://metabox.io/how-to-create-custom-meta-boxes-custom-fields-in-wordpress/
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_global_custom_options');
function add_global_custom_options()
{
add_menu_page('Global Custom Options', 'Theme Options', 'manage_options', 'functions','global_custom_options');
}
function global_custom_options()
{
?>
<input type="hidden" name="your_meta_box_nonce" value="<?php echo wp_create_nonce( basename(__FILE__) ); ?>">
<!--Article Subtitle-->
<p>
<label style="font-weight:700; font-size:1.2em;" for="your_fields[articlesubtitle]">Article Subtitle</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="your_fields[articlesubtitle]" id="your_fields[articlesubtitle]" class="regular-text" value="<?php echo $meta['articlesubtitle']; ?>">
</p><br>
<!--Article Author-->
<p>
<label style="font-weight:700; font-size:1.2em;" for="your_fields[text]">Author Name</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="your_fields[authorname]" id="your_fields[authorname]" class="regular-text" value="<?php echo $meta['authorname']; ?>">
</p><br>
<!--Article Author Title-->
<p>
<label style="font-weight:700; font-size:1.2em;" for="your_fields[authortitle]">Author Title</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="your_fields[authortitle]" id="your_fields[authortitle]" class="regular-text" value="<?php echo $meta['authortitle']; ?>">
<?php
}
