Question

I’m working on a WordPress theme and I’ve created an options page that is already setup and functioning for inputs and textareas. Which can easily be carried to the template pages with:

<?php $options = get_option('kittytheme_options'); echo $options['kittens']; ?>

Now, how would one modify that to work as a checkbox conditional? The following is probably wrong in many ways, but should illustrate what I’m trying:

<?php $options = get_option('kittytheme_options'); if ( $options['kittycheckbox'] == '0' ) : ?>Theme By: <a href="http://someurl.com/">Company Name</a><?php endif; ?>

So basically the idea is that the link should show by default being equal to 0 or nothing. But, when the checkbox to hide this area is checked in the options it would equal 1 therefore hiding it.

From the options page/form here’s the checkbox:

<input id="kittytheme_options[kittycheckbox]" name="kittytheme_options[kittycheckbox]" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php checked( '1', $options['kittycheckbox'] ); ?> />
<label class="description" for="kittytheme_options[kittycheckbox]"><?php _e( 'Hide Kitty Credit', 'kittytheme' ); ?></label>

And the final validation function is:

function theme_options_validate( $input ) {
global $select_options;
if ( ! isset( $input['kittycheckbox'] ) )
$input['kittycheckbox'] = null;
$input['kittycheckbox'] = ( $input['kittycheckbox'] == 1 ? 1 : 0 );
return $input;
}

UPDATED:

Your code is almost good exept for the theme_options_validate function that still work but it coded in a wrong fashion; below how it should be:

function theme_options_validate( $input ) {
   $input['hidecred'] = isset($input['hidecred']) ? 1: 0;
   return $input;
}

So i guess that the real problem is that you are not including the conditional statement in all the desired WP pages. most probably you are including it only in page.php and not in page-blog.php and so on…

$options = get_option('startuppro_options');
if ( $options['hidecred'] ){
  // do something here
}
