Class Reference/WP Customize Manager/add section

Contents

Description

Adds a new section to the Theme Customization admin screen. Sections are convenient ways to group controls logically.

This is a method of the WP_Customize_Manager() class and can only be accessed through the $wp_customize object within the customize_register action hook.

Usage

$wp_customize->add_section($id, $args);

Parameters

$id
(string) (required) A unique slug-like string to use as an id.
Default: None
$args
(array) (required) An associative array containing arguments for the control.
Default: None

Arguments

title
The visible name of a controller section.
priority
This controls the order in which this section appears in the Theme Customizer sidebar.
description
This optional argument can add additional descriptive text to the section.

Default Sections

WordPress does include a few built-in sections. If you want to use any of the existing, built-in ones, you don't need to declare them with add_section(). Instead, refer to them directly. The following sections are built-in...

  • title_tagline - Site Title & Tagline
  • colors - Colors
  • header_image - Header Image
  • background_image - Background Image
  • nav - Navigation
  • static_front_page - Static Front Page

Example

Adding a theme section (within the 'customize_register' action) might look like this: 

$wp_customize->add_section( 'mytheme_new_section_name' , array(
    'title'      => __('Visible Section Name','mytheme'),
    'priority'   => 30,
) );
