q: about add_settings_field() parameters

  • I was reading up on the settings api and in the add_settings_field( $id, $title, $callback, $page, $section, $args ); part, I’m not sure what the args parameter is for. All that was written in the codex is

    $args
    (array) (optional) Additional arguments

    Default: array()

    What additional arguments can I specify and how will this effect the outcome of the output?

    My first guess would be that the $args param is used with the the $callback parameter so that we can specify additional parameters in the callback.

    Hopefully someone can clarify this for a wordpress noob (me). Thanks

    I was just taking a look around the template.php and found that the $args parameter in add_settings_field gets used in a php function call_user_func($field[‘callback’], $field[‘args’]); which resides in the do_settings_field function.

    is $field[‘args’] the same as the $args parameter specified in add_settings_field()?

    Found in /wp-admin/includes/template.php -> line 1200

    I just found your question here when I was looking for the same answer. A little more searching turned up this bug report which, I think, answers both of our questions:
