First, you will need a sample theme. Create a new folder in wp-contentthemes. Name it 'test' (or, whatever you like). Create three files in the 'test' folder: index.php, style.css and functions.php. Now, you should choose the 'test' theme as the current theme.
Second, open the functions.php file in your favourite text editor, and paste the following php code.
<?php
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_welcome_interface');
function add_welcome_interface()
{
/* add_theme_page( page_title, menu_title,
access_level/capability, file, [function]); */
add_theme_page('Your Theme Name', 'Your Theme Options',
'edit_themes', basename(__FILE__), 'editoptions');
}
function editoptions() {
?>
<div class=“wrap">
<h2>Your Theme Name</h2>
<form action=“options.php" method=“post">
<?php wp_nonce_field('update-options'); ?>
<table class=“form-table">
<tbody>
<tr valign=“top">
<th scope=“row">First Option</th>
<td><input value=“<?php echo get_option('first_option'); ?>;"
name=“first_option"></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=“top">
<th scope=“row">Second Option</th>
<td><input value=<?php echo get_option('second_option'); ?>"
name=“second_option"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<input type=“hidden" value=“update" name=“action">
<input type="hidden" value="first_option,second_option"
name="page_options">
<p class=“submit">
<input type=“submit" value=“<?php _e('Save Changes') ?>“
name=“Submit">
</p>
</form>
</div>
<?php } ?>Finally, you can call the options that you save in index.php file, using the
get_option() function.<?php
echo get_option(‘first_option’);
echo get_option(’second_option’);
