8BIT‘s Master Yoda Coda Coder Tom McFarlin has dropped a second post over at wptuts+ in a series of posts focusing on the WordPress Settings API.
If you’ve ever wanted to dig into the WordPress Settings API, this is the place to start.
When you first start looking at Tom’s tutorial, it’s a tad overwhelming. When you spend most of your time tinkering with themes and functions, it’s like looking at something completely different.
Don’t worry. This is still considered “beginner level,” so get your elbows dirty!
Here’s what you’ll be covering:
The Complete Guide to the WordPress Settings API, Part 1: What It Is, Why It Matters
- The settings API defined
- Why should we use the Settings API
- Upcoming Roadmap
This is obviously a very brief overview, get started now!
The Complete Guide to the WordPress Settings API, Part 2: Sections, Fields, and Settings
- On sections, fields, and settings
- A sandbox for our settings
- Our first set of options
- Reading the API
Again, this is a basic overview of what Tom covers. These tutorials are packed full of beautiful code.
There’s also more parts coming up in the series (Menu Pages are next), so get started now, so you can keep up!

Thanks for picking this up, Eric – the series is slated to run for about eight articles. Trying to cover it all :).
