I'm having a static front page, in which I plan to have the little bits like text, buttons, and other plain stuff editable through wp-admin.
I plan to make it simple, just like in "Settings > General" (options-general.php), with input values to fill by the users. However, I've been encountering difficulties to achieve that.
I've been following the tutorial from Tutsplus but they hooked into the_content instead, with only one value. Which seems to be inserted into wp_options in the MySQL table. I want to put it into a separate, new table. For example, wp_frontpage.
Here is the mostly unaltered code in views/settings.php
<div class="wrap">
<h1><?php echo esc_html( get_admin_page_title() ); ?></h1>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo esc_html( admin_url( 'admin-post.php' ) ); ?>">
<div id="universal-message-container">
<h2>Front</h2>
<div class="options">
<p>
<label>What message would you like to display above each post?</label>
<br />
<input type="text" name="acme-message"
value="<?php echo esc_attr( $this->deserializer->get_value( 'tutsplus-custom-data' ) ); ?>"
/>
</p>
</div><!-- #universal-message-container -->
<?php
wp_nonce_field( 'acme-settings-save', 'acme-custom-message' );
submit_button();
?>
</form>
I tried looking at the official guide:
But apparently the page is obsolete since it didn't do anything.
Any guide to do this?
