Settings not serialized

    I’m in the habit of making base settings with a custom plugin. Went through my desired defaults, just check FVM’s settings in wp_options and noticed that it doesn’t store the serialized but in a custom way. Not saying this is bad, but does FVM provide methods for programmatically making settings from outside the plugin?

    The data is not serialized, it’s json encoded.
    You can access it as an array, inspect the keys and save it’s settings accordingly.

    
// get settings
$fvm_settings = json_decode(get_option('fvm_settings'), true);
// your changes here
$fvm_settings['some_key'] = 'value';
// resave
update_option('fvm_settings', json_encode($fvm_settings), false);

    If you are doing this, please ensure it doesn’t check on every pageview, else you will stress the database. Use transients perhaps, or some “done” field, somewhere else as a control.

    Sometimes I should think before I ask. Too much autopilot today, basically asking how to handle JSON. Thank you for the quick response and thank you for your great work!
