| get_option( $option, $default_value = false ) X-Ref |
| Retrieves an option value based on an option name. If the option does not exist, and a default value is not provided, boolean false is returned. This could be used to check whether you need to initialize an option during installation of a plugin, however that can be done better by using add_option() which will not overwrite existing options. Not initializing an option and using boolean `false` as a return value is a bad practice as it triggers an additional database query. The type of the returned value can be different from the type that was passed when saving or updating the option. If the option value was serialized, then it will be unserialized when it is returned. In this case the type will be the same. For example, storing a non-scalar value like an array will return the same array. In most cases non-string scalar and null values will be converted and returned as string equivalents. Exceptions: 1. When the option has not been saved in the database, the `$default_value` value is returned if provided. If not, boolean `false` is returned. 2. When one of the Options API filters is used: {@see 'pre_option_$option'}, {@see 'default_option_$option'}, or {@see 'option_$option'}, the returned value may not match the expected type. 3. When the option has just been saved in the database, and get_option() is used right after, non-string scalar and null values are not converted to string equivalents and the original type is returned. Examples: When adding options like this: `add_option( 'my_option_name', 'value' )` and then retrieving them with `get_option( 'my_option_name' )`, the returned values will be: - `false` returns `string(0) ""` - `true` returns `string(1) "1"` - `0` returns `string(1) "0"` - `1` returns `string(1) "1"` - `'0'` returns `string(1) "0"` - `'1'` returns `string(1) "1"` - `null` returns `string(0) ""` When adding options with non-scalar values like `add_option( 'my_array', array( false, 'str', null ) )`, the returned value will be identical to the original as it is serialized before saving it in the database: array(3) { [0] => bool(false) [1] => string(3) "str" [2] => NULL } return: mixed Value of the option. A value of any type may be returned, including param: string $option Name of the option to retrieve. Expected to not be SQL-escaped. param: mixed $default_value Optional. Default value to return if the option does not exist. |
| wp_prime_option_caches( $options ) X-Ref |

| wp_set_option_autoload_values( array $options ) X-Ref |
| Sets the autoload values for multiple options in the database. Autoloading too many options can lead to performance problems, especially if the options are not frequently used. This function allows modifying the autoload value for multiple options without changing the actual option value. This is for example recommended for plugin activation and deactivation hooks, to ensure any options exclusively used by the plugin which are generally autoloaded can be set to not autoload when the plugin is inactive. return: array Associative array of all provided $options as keys and boolean values for whether their autoload value param: array $options Associative array of option names and their autoload values to set. The option names are |
| wp_set_options_autoload( array $options, $autoload ) X-Ref |

| Updates the value of an option that was already added. You do not need to serialize values. If the value needs to be serialized, then it will be serialized before it is inserted into the database. Remember, resources cannot be serialized or added as an option. If the option does not exist, it will be created. This function is designed to work with or without a logged-in user. In terms of security, plugin developers should check the current user's capabilities before updating any options. return: bool True if the value was updated, false otherwise. param: string $option Name of the option to update.

If no explicit autoload value is provided, the function will check for certain heuristics around the given option. It will return `auto-on` to indicate autoloading, `auto-off` to indicate not autoloading, or `auto` if no clear decision could be made. return: string Returns the original $autoload value if explicit, or 'auto-on', 'auto-off', param: string $option The name of the option. param: mixed $value The value of the option to check its autoload value. param: mixed $serialized_value The serialized value of the option to check its autoload value. param: bool|null $autoload The autoload value to check. |

Default 0 (no expiration). |
| delete_expired_transients( $force_db = false ) X-Ref |
| Deletes all expired transients. Note that this function won't do anything if an external object cache is in use. The multi-table delete syntax is used to delete the transient record from table a, and the corresponding transient_timeout record from table b. param: bool $force_db Optional. Force cleanup to run against the database even when an external object cache is used. |
