    <p>I am trying to create a theme options page based on WordPress's Settings API. When I go to check the options.php page in my browser (ex. <a href="http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/options.php" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/options.php</a>), I see an entry for coolorange_options but it is empty. This happened after I added a url, width and height to the text fields. </p> <p>So far, I have enough code written to get the information and store it to the database, but not to retrieve it for anything. I referenced a tutorial in the php comment at the top of the code. Considering that I don't know much php or programming, something must be wrong here, I just don't know what. The entire code is below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // This options page mainly follows the WordPress Settings API Tutorial at // http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2009/wordpress-settings-api-tutorial/ add_action('admin_menu', 'theme_admin_add_page'); add_action('admin_init', 'theme_admin_init'); function theme_admin_init() { register_setting('coolorange_theme_options', 'coolorange_options', 'coolorange_options_validate'); // what each parameter represents: add_settings_field($id, $title, $callback, $page, $section, $args); add_settings_section('coolorange_logo_main', 'Logo Section Settings', 'logo_section_text', 'coolorange'); add_settings_field('upload_image_button', '&lt;strong&gt;Upload logo to the Media Folder&lt;/strong&gt;', 'file_upload_button', 'coolorange', 'coolorange_logo_main'); // Upload Logo button add_settings_field('logo_textfields', '&lt;strong&gt;Logo location&lt;/strong&gt;', 'file_location', 'coolorange', 'coolorange_logo_main'); // logo url, width and height text fields add_settings_field('restore_selectbox', '&lt;strong&gt;Restore original heading&lt;/strong&gt;', 'restore_dropdown', 'coolorange', 'coolorange_logo_main'); } function logo_section_text() { echo '&lt;p&gt;In this section, you can replace the standard blog title heading with a custom logo. The logo cannot be wider than &lt;strong&gt;960 pixels&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;'; } function file_upload_button() { $options = get_option('coolorange_theme_options'); echo '&lt;input id="upload_image_button" class="button-secondary" type="button" name="coolorange_theme_options[upload_image_button]" value="Upload Logo" /&gt;'; } function file_location() { //opens file_location function $options = get_option('coolorange_theme_options'); ?&gt; &lt;h3&gt;How to upload a logo to replace the heading&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div style="background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #BBBBBB; padding: 30px;"&gt; &lt;ul style="list-style: disc;"&gt; ...instructions to upload logo &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;File URL:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;input id="image_url" type="text" value="&lt;?php $options['image_url']; ?&gt;" size="60" name="coolorange_theme_options[image_url]" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Logo width:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;input id="image_width" type="text" value="&lt;?php $options['image_width']; ?&gt;" size="6" name="coolorange_theme_options[image_width]" /&gt; Enter logo width in pixels (for example &lt;strong&gt;800px&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Logo height:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;input id="image_height" type="text" value="&lt;?php $options['image_height']; ?&gt;" size="6" name="image_height" /&gt; Enter logo height in pixels (for example &lt;strong&gt;90px&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;?php } //closes file_location function function restore_dropdown() { //opens restore_dropdown function $options = get_option('coolorange_theme_options'); // http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/selected ?&gt; &lt;select name="co_restore_selectbox[select_options]" id="co_restore_selectbox"&gt; &lt;option value="default" &lt;?php if ( $co_restore_selectbox['select_options'] == 'default' ) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?&gt;&gt;select an option&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="restore" &lt;?php if ( $co_restore_selectbox['select_options'] == 'restore' ) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?&gt;&gt;Restore CSS&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;?php } // closes restore_dropdown funcion function css_switcher() { $options = get_option('coolorange_theme_options'); //$backgroundurl = "url('" . $options['image_url']; .

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
