I am trying to make sense of it, and I have a couple of questions.
I see that in the past you used options framework, but now it’s not required. Has it been completely replaced by WordPress customizer? Or is it still included somehow? If so, where can I find it?
I see a lot of “of_get_option()” functions. As far as I understand, they are Options Framework functions, is that right? If so, are they still working or are they not? If they are working, how do they work?
What’s the options.php file used for, if the options framework is not used anymore?
I don’t need long answers, just being pointed in the right direction would be super. I hope you can help me.
I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.
1) I see that in the past you used options framework, but now it’s not required. Has it been completely replaced by WordPress customizer? Or is it still included somehow? If so, where can I find it?
All theme options are now completely replaced by WordPress customizer that you can find in the admin area under Appearance >> Customize. All settings are still there but now you can tweak everything on a live preview. This change is made due to wordpress.org recommendation.
2) I see a lot of “of_get_option()” functions. As far as I understand, they are Options Framework functions, is that right? If so, are they still working or are they not? If they are working, how do they work?
Yes that function is working and we are using it to make the transition from theme options to theme customizer seamless. This is because both these options saves data in different place in database.
3) What’s the options.php file used for, if the options framework is not used anymore?
Thanks for notifying us about this. This file is no longer needed and will be removed in the future version of the theme.
