Adding Administration Menus - Wordpress

Adding Administration Menus

Many plugins give their users options or settings, which allow the users a way to customize how the plugin is used. As a plugin author, you have several choices in how to set this up. One way is to have the user edit information in the plugin's PHP file, but this makes many users uncomfortable (to say the least). So, a better way is usually to create administration screens that let the plugin user set options in a more familiar manner.

Creating custom options panels in WordPress is relatively easy.

Firstly, to create the menu item and the new page, see Adding Administration Menus.

So long as you stick to this structure, WordPress will handle all of the option creation, update, saving, and redirection for you. It will check permissions, and do all that other magic behind the scenes.
