I want to add a third column consisting of an input textfield using the Settings API. Is this possible?

function print_custom_field()
{
    $value = get_option( 'my_first_field', '' );
   $value_second = get_option( 'my_second_field', '' );
    echo '<input type="text" id="my_first_field" name="my_first_field" value="' . $value . '" />';
echo '<input type="text" id="my_second_field" name="my_second_field" value="' . $value_second . '" />';
}

add_filter('admin_init', 'register_fields');

EDIT: I tried this code and Wordpress doesn't save the values of the second input field. Only the value of the first input field gets saved. How can I show another text input in the same row?

From the settings API,

add_settings_field(
    'my_first_field-id',
    'This is the setting title',
    'myprefix_setting_callback_function',
    'general',
    'myprefix_settings-section-name',
    array( 'label_for' => 'my_first_field-id' )
);
myprefix_setting_callback_function(){

  echo '<input type="text" name="my_first_field" value="'.get_option('my_first_field').'" />';
}

All I needed to do was register_setting for the second input.

  • Can you please provide example? What if you are using array format ie. <input name="your_option[second_field]">? Commented Jun 24, 2018 at 4:27
