Helper functions for WP Option Tree

option_tree_helper.php

<?php
/**
 * Paste this code in your theme's functions.php
 * file and wherever you normally would call 
 * `get_option_tree('option-name');`, use
 * `get_theme_option('option-name');` instead.
 * This will pass through the already retrieved
 * global $option_tree (called when your theme loads)
 * and save you from several additional database
 * calls on a single page request.
 *
 * Update: I created a shortcode to access the 
 * settings within a post/page.
