Thank you.

Hi,

The following code only leaves me with one single checkbox which has the label as name:

$wp_customize->add_setting('themename_theme_options[checkbox_test]', array(
'capability' => 'edit_theme_options',
'type' => 'checkbox',
));

$wp_customize->add_control('display_header_text', array(
    'settings' => 'themename_theme_options[checkbox_test]',
    'label'    => __('Display Header Text'),
    'section'  => 'social-icons',
    'type'     => 'checkbox',
    'choices'    => array(
        'value1' => 'Choice 1',
        'value2' => 'Choice 2',
        'value3' => 'Choice 3',
    ),
));

Any help would be much appreciated.

How can I get theme customizer options?

Very good sample code, thanks for sharing!

@Misiur

you have a typo there. Function should be get_theme_mod not get_theme_mode

Thanks for sharing! And how to "shift + click" to edit?

Okay, what am I doing wrong?! LOL. I'm trying to echo the "Arse!" on my homepage using <?php echo get_theme_mod('themename_theme_options')['text_test']; ?> and nothing is showing up. :( Everything shows up in the backend customizer but I can't get the values to show up on the front end. Is there something extra or something else I should be trying?

I simple remove 'type' => 'option', and works. My simple text input:

	$wp_customize->add_section('{themename}_themes', [
	    'title'      => __('Theme settings', '{themename}'),
	    'priority'   => 30,
	]);

	$wp_customize->add_setting('{themename}_theme[copyright]', [
		'default'        => 'Copyright %s',
		'capability'     => 'edit_theme_options',
	]);

	$wp_customize->add_control('{themename}_text', [
		'label'      => __('Copyright text', '{themename}'),
		'section'    => '{themename}_themes',
		'settings'   => '{themename}_theme[copyright]',
	]);

In theme output:
get_theme_mod('{themename}_theme') returned all options in array.

If anyone is wondering how to render theme mods with names like something[foobar], then check out get_theme_mods. You can see that those mods get unserialized, and to access them you have to use

<?php echo get_theme_mode('something')['foobar']; ?>

(this snippet is php >= 5.4 )

get_option("settings_name") work for me

Hello,

In your Checkbox add control, change property name "display_header_text" to another because is doesn't work. (may be it's reserved by WP)
