    I’m trying to modify the WordPress theme customizer by adding sections and settings but no matter what I add in my functions.php file, nothing ever shows up in the customizer.

    Here is my code:-

    function starter_customize_register( $wp_customize )
    {
    $wp_customize->add_panel( ‘home_page_settings’, array(
    ‘title’ => __( ‘Home Page Settings’, ‘starter’),
    ‘priority’ => 10,
    ‘active_callback’ => ‘is_front_page’
    ) );

    $wp_customize->add_section( ‘home_call_to_action_section’ , array(
    ‘title’ => __(‘Call To Action’,’starter’),
    ‘panel’ => ‘home_page_settings’,
    ) );

    $wp_customize->add_setting( ‘home_call_to_action_setting_section’, array(
    ‘default’ => __(‘WHAT IS RO PURIFIER?’, ‘starter’),
    ‘sanitize_callback’ => ‘starter_sanitize’,
    ));
    $wp_customize->add_control(‘cta_heading’, array(
    ‘label’ => __(‘CTA Heading’,’starter’),
    ‘section’ => ‘home_call_to_action_section’,
    ‘setting’=>’home_call_to_action_setting_section’

    ));
    }
    add_action( ‘customize_register’, ‘starter_customize_register’);

  • Hey @vipin,

    It looks like your missing a few things / got a few different names.

    Each control must be associated with a setting of the same name. The control also needs a type assigning to it such as text, radio, date etc. 

    function starter_customize_register( $wp_customize ) {

	$wp_customize->add_setting( 'home_call_to_action_setting_section', array(
		'default'           => __( 'WHAT IS RO PURIFIER?', 'starter' ),
	) );

	$wp_customize->add_control( 'home_call_to_action_setting_section', array(
		'type'    => 'text',
		'label'   => __( 'CTA Heading', 'starter' ),
		'section' => 'home_call_to_action_section',
		'setting' => 'home_call_to_action_setting_section',
	) );

	$wp_customize->add_panel( 'home_page_settings', array(
		'title'    => __( 'Home Page Settings', 'starter' ),
		'priority' => 10,
	) );

	$wp_customize->add_section( 'home_call_to_action_section', array(
		'title' => __( 'Call To Action', 'starter' ),
		'panel' => 'home_page_settings',
	) );

}

add_action( 'customize_register', 'starter_customize_register' );

    Should work going off what you put. You’ll need to add some santize callbacks in there as well if you want to do that. The above is missing a santize function so the value won’t save by default.
