I have my plugin setup as such:
Main plugin file mouldings.php
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Moulding Profiles
Plugin URI:
Description: Creates a 'Moulding Profiles' and 'Idea Gallery' custom post type, creates a 'Wood Types' and 'Categories' taxonomy for 'Moulding Profiles'

*/
// Global Variables
$mouldings_prefix = 'mouldings_';
$mouldings_name = 'Mouldings';
// plugin folder url
if(!defined('MOULDINGS_BASE_URL')) {
define('MOULDINGS_BASE_URL', plugin_dir_url(__FILE__));
}
// plugin folder path
if(!defined('MOULDINGS_BASE_DIR')) {
define('MOULDINGS_BASE_DIR', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ));
}
// plugin root file
if(!defined('MOULDINGS_PLUGIN_FILE')) {
define('MOULDINGS_PLUGIN_FILE', __FILE__);
}
// Includes
include('includes/register-settings.php'); // Register
// Retrieve settings from the options page
$mouldings_options = get_option('mouldings_settings');
include('includes/install.php'); // Sets default plugin settings on activation
include('includes/plugin-settings.php'); // Plugin options page HTML/Save functions
include('includes/scripts.php'); // Conrols JS/CSS
include('includes/admin-post-types.php'); // Sets up post types/taxonomies
include('includes/helper-functions.php'); // Functions that extend functionality of Mouldings
include('includes/admin-metaboxes.php'); // Metaboxes that appear in the admin (non-ACF)
include('includes/display-functions.php'); // Holds filters/actions for output
?>
In register_settings.php I have setup the options:
<?php
function mouldings_register_settings_initial() {
if( false == get_option( 'mouldings_settings' ) ) {
add_option( 'mouldings_settings' );
}
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'idea_gallery_thumb_height');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'idea_gallery_thumb_width');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'collection_thumb_height');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'collection_thumb_width');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'profile_item_columns');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'idea_item_columns');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'collections_item_columns');
register_setting('mouldings_settings_group', 'combinations_item_columns');
}
add_action('admin_init', 'mouldings_register_settings_initial');
and then in install.php
<?php
function mouldings_activate() {
global $wpdb, $mouldings_options;
if ($mouldings_options === false){
$mouldings_options = array(
'idea_item_columns' => '4'
);
update_option( 'mouldings_settings', $mouldings_options );
}
}
register_activation_hook( MOULDINGS_PLUGIN_FILE, 'mouldings_activate' );
So, what I’m trying to do is setup the options table entry, moulding_settings, register the settings and then on activation, set the test value, idea_item_colummns to 4. On activation currently, the options table entry is created, but without any settings and the default idea_item_columns is not set/created either. Once I visit my settings page and save the values, they pop-up in that table as need – but something just doesn’t seem to be clicking on activation. Here is my settings page if that helps at all:
<?php
function mouldings_options_page() {
global $mouldings_options;
ob_start(); ?>

I’ve been at this for a few hours and am hoping it’s something small (well, if it’s too small, I may loose my sanity, but any help would really be appreciated). Thanks.
I believe the issue is that your function that sets up the settings initially isn’t getting run upon activation. Add a call to your mouldings_register_settings_initial() in the activation hook, like this:
