wp customizer api dropdown-pages

  • I am trying to use a dropdown page control to select a page but it is not working. With others control it works perfect.

    functions.php

    //section
$wp_customize->add_section('themename_color_scheme', array(
    'title'    => __('Color Scheme', 'themename'),
    'description' => '',
    'priority' => 120,
));
//setting
$wp_customize->add_setting('landing1', array(
        'capability'     => 'edit_theme_options',
        'type'           => 'option',

    ));
//control
$wp_customize->add_control('ld', array(
        'label'      => 'Front page section 1',
        'section'    => 'themename_color_scheme',
        'type'    => 'dropdown-pages',
        'settings'   => 'landing1',
));

    page:

    //trying to show the data (not working :/  )
$mod = get_theme_mod( 'ld');
echo($mod);
echo var_dump($mod);

    echo ($mod) dont show anything and var_dump show “boolean false”

    Here’s what’s working for me – 

    $wp_customize->add_section(
		'smu_bio', array(
			'title' => __('Bio Section', 'smu'),
			'priority' => 70,
		));

	// Link

	$wp_customize->add_setting('smu_bio_link', array(
		// note - works with or without capability & type set
		'capability' => 'edit_theme_options',
		'type' => 'option',
		// note - need to add sanitize callback
	));

	$wp_customize->add_control('smu_bio_link', array(
		'label' => __('Link', 'smu'),
		'section' => 'smu_bio',
		'type' => 'dropdown-pages',
		'settings' => 'smu_bio_link',
	)); // end link

    I was fine up to this point, but my issue was that using echo get_theme_mod('smu_bio_link'); was returning the page ID, when I needed the permalink.

    The solution, in my case, was so simple and obvious that it took me about three hours before someone pointed out –

    <?php echo get_permalink(get_theme_mod('smu_bio_link')); ?>

    Thanks to Brady Vercher ( @bradyvercher ) for helping me out with it.

    Hope this helps in some way.

    Hi Tiago –

    This is probably a bit late but anyway:
    In your page template you are trying to retrieve the wrong part from your customizer code:

    $mod = get_theme_mod( 'ld');
echo($mod);
echo var_dump($mod);

    this is trying to retrieve information from the setting ‘ld’ – which in your customizer code you have named the controller ‘ld’. Your Controller is calling the setting ‘landing1’. Controllers only handle the changing of your settings (in this instance)

    try:

    $mod = get_theme_mod( 'landing1');
echo($mod);
echo var_dump($mod);
