wetory_settings_validate

Changelog

• 1.2.1 – Brief description here

Example

Validate debugging verbosity value, if it is not valid then returning WP_Error instead of settings. This will cause error preventing storage of wring data into database. It is always better to check the structure of $settings using var_dump function before modifying it.

function validate_my_settings($settings)
{
    $wp_error = new WP_Error();

    // Debugging section
    if (isset($settings['debugging']['verbosity']) && $settings['debugging']['verbosity'] === '') {
        $wp_error->add(500, __('Value for debugging verbosity is not valid!', 'wetory-support'));
    }

    // Return error instead of settings array
    if ($wp_error->has_errors()) {
        return $wp_error;
    }

    return $settings;
}
