Acid is a WordPress theme options framework that allows developers and designers to create theme options in the WordPress Customizer API with very little effort. This framework takes all the stress away from managing theme options, and allows you to focus more on developing your theme, rather than spending endless hours creating and managing your theme options.
Acid includes all the default WordPress Customizer API options, and over time, I will be adding more custom options that fully adhere to the WordPress.org theme check requirements.
You can use this framework if you're building themes for WordPress.org, Themeforest, MoJo Themes, or for your clients. The license allows you to use in personal or commercial themes.
To use Acid, simply bundle it in your theme. This framework is GPL-compatible, allowing you to include it in your theme whether you're creating fee themes on WordPress.org, Themeforst, Mojo or selling your themes privately. This tool is intended for use by developers, designers and theme creators.
- Download the latest release of this framework, or click the download button to download as a zip.
- Place the entire unzipped folder in your theme's
incfolder. For example:wp-contents/themes/YOUR_THEME/inc/Acid - In your theme's functions.php file (or in any file in your theme where you want to add the code for your theme's options), include the framework's main file like so:
include_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/inc/Acid/acid.php'; - Sample code
/**
*
* $acid_location is where the Acid folder is located in your theme
* In this scenaario, the Acid folder is located in wp-contents/themes/YOUR_THEME/inc
*
* It is important to specify the location properly so that Acid knows the location of the assets it needs to look and function correctly
*
*/
$acid_location = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/inc/';
$acid = acid_instance( $acid_location );
/**
*
* Create your theme options as PHP arrays
* WordPress Customizer's structure allows you to create Options that are nested in Sections, which are in turn nested in Panels
*
* Acid uses the same structure, allowing you to nest options easily, without needing to reference the section or panel ID
*
