There are many great theme option frameworks, both free and premium, but I’m always interested in learning about more. Not every theme or framework is for everyone, so it’s always a good idea to explore your options, and with the NHO Theme Options Framework, there are plenty of options.

The NHP Theme Options Framework has many built in features, buts its best feature is the way it allows you to create / extend the framework. By creating field classes, validation classes, or custom callback functions for both field, and validation.
There are multiple hook and filter references throughout the Framework which are designed so you can spend you time creating great themes.

I always loved NHP… unfortunately, it hasn’t seen development in six months and the bugs and feature requests have been piling up. As a result, I got tired of watching problems go unsolved, forked NHP, and released my own framework which resolves most of the issues people had with NHP and adds a few features of my own! If you want to take a look at my continuation of NHP, check out http://github.com/ghost1227/Redux-Framework/

Hello All,
This is a really old post, but just thought i would update up.
Im the creator of the framework, and since then i couldn’t maintain it as a free open source offering.
However i do now offer a premium framework, which does what this did and much more:
http://no-half-pixels.github.io/Fluent-Framework/
Its premium but a small contribution for a hell of a lot more options and features.
