[Resolved] Changing global colors programatically

[Elvis]

Thanks, then it is exactly what I need.
Still, when I click Default, it reverts to original names.

here is the snippet, it is an /inc/colors.php included in functions.php cache is cleared.

// Set Default colors
function apuri_set_default_colors( $defaults ) {
	$defaults['global_colors'] = array(
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Primary Dark', 'generatepress' ),
					'slug' => 'primary-dark',
					'color' => '#222222',
			),
			array(
					/* translators: Contrast number */
					'name' => sprintf( __( 'Primary Light', 'generatepress' ) ),
					'slug' => 'primary-light',
					'color' => '#ffffff',
			),
			array(
					/* translators: Contrast number */
					'name' => sprintf( __( 'Secondary Dark', 'generatepress' ) ),
					'slug' => 'secondary-dark',
					'color' => '#a6a6a6',
			),
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Secondary Light', 'generatepress' ),
					'slug' => 'secondary-light',
					'color' => '#eeeeee',
			),
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Accent', 'generatepress' ),
					'slug' => 'accent',
					'color' => '#ff5e5e',
			),
	);

	return $defaults;
}

add_filter( 'generate_option_defaults', 'apuri_set_default_colors' );

Thanks

Ah, is this when trying to revert the individual options to their defaults?

If so, you need to do this:

add_filter( 'generate_color_option_defaults', function( $defaults ) {
    $defaults['color_name'] = 'new-default';
    $defaults['another_color_name'] = 'another-new-default';

    return $defaults;
} );

You can find the color names and current defaults here: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/3.1.3/inc/defaults.php#L123-L190

YES, that is it.
I want to set the defaults to my values and names, but not loose any of customizer functionality. 🙂
Thanks so much.

[Tom]

You’re welcome 🙂

Hello,
here I come again 🙂

It does not work still. This is in my /inc/global_colors.php file required from functions.php My colors are called like I want and they have values I want, but when open, Typography, Body, Text Color, that has been set to my ‘primary-dark’, if I click to the button Default, it reverts to ‘contrast’.

/**
 * Set new colors, and color names
 * @link https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/changing-global-colors-programatically/#post-2122087
 */
function apuri_set_default_colors( $defaults ) {
	$defaults['global_colors'] = array(
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Primary Dark', 'apuri' ),
					'slug' => 'primary-dark',
					'color' => '#222222',
			),
			array(
					'name' => sprintf( __( 'Primary Light', 'apuri' ) ),
					'slug' => 'primary-light',
					'color' => '#ffffff',
			),
			array(
					'name' => sprintf( __( 'Secondary Dark', 'apuri' ) ),
					'slug' => 'secondary-dark',
					'color' => '#a6a6a6',
			),
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Secondary Light', 'apuri' ),
					'slug' => 'secondary-light',
					'color' => '#eeeeee',
			),
			array(
					'name' => __( 'Accent', 'apuri' ),
					'slug' => 'accent',
					'color' => '#ff5e5e',
			),
	);

	return $defaults;
}

add_filter( 'generate_option_defaults', 'apuri_set_default_colors' );

/**
 * Set new defaults, to use in customizer
 * @link https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/changing-global-colors-programatically/page/2/#post-2124898
 */

function apuri_reset_new_color_defaults_for_customizer( $defaults ) {
	$defaults['contrast']     = 'primary-dark';
	$defaults['base-2']       = 'primary-light';
	$defaults['contrast-2']   = 'secondary-dark';
	$defaults['base-3']       = 'secondary-light';
	$defaults['accent']       = 'accent';

	return $defaults;
}

add_filter( 'generate_color_option_defaults', 'apuri_reset_new_color_defaults_for_customizer');

Hi there,

Those aren’t the correct option names.

For example, the option name on the following line is top_bar_background_color: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/3.1.3/inc/defaults.php#L123

So you would do this: $defaults['top_bar_background_color'] = 'primary-dark';

Hope this helps!

Tom Thanks a lot,
I got it solved!

This syntax works.

$defaults['navigation_search_background_color']     = 'var(--primary-light)';
$defaults['navigation_search_text_color']           = 'var(--secondary-dark)';
$defaults['content_background_color']               = 'var(--primary-light)';
$defaults['content_text_color']                     = 'var(--primary-dark)';

Woohooo!

[Tom]

Glad you got it sorted 🙂

Hi Tom,

Is your code you posted back on the previous page (#2122087) still valid?

I have copied and pasted that into WPCodebox but it doesn’t seem to be having any effect – I’m making the accent black for example just to see if it’s working but there appears to be no change to the global colours in the customiser at all (accent remains blue)

[Ying]

Hi there,

The code is still valid.

It only changes the default color which is #1e73be for Accent, if you’ve already changed the color, then the code would not have any effect.

[Steve]

hmmm strange – I wonder why it isn’t working then?

I had not changed the default accent colour – it is still showing as #1e73be in the customiser.

[Ying]

In that case, this code should still work.

I haven’t tried WPCodebox plugin, can you try using Code snippet to add the code?

[Steve]

I tried in Code Snippets and no luck with that either…

[Steve]

I just don’t understand why the generate_option_defaults filter isn’t working.

I have lots of other snippets working in WPCodebox

Also this color settings code which I found elsewhere on the forum works fine – although this permanently sets the colours, not just setting default values:

<?php 

add_filter( 'option_generate_settings', function( $settings ) {
    $settings['global_colors'] = [
        [
            'name' => __( 'contrast', 'generatepress' ),
            'slug' => 'contrast',
            'color' => '#8cff44',
        ],
        [
            'name' => sprintf( __( 'Contrast %s', 'generatepress' ), '2' ),
            'slug' => 'contrast-2',
            'color' => '#29cc14',
        ],
        [
            'name' => sprintf( __( 'Contrast %s', 'generatepress' ), '3' ),
            'slug' => 'contrast-3',
            'color' => '#c2cec7',
        ],
        [
            'name' => __( 'base', 'generatepress' ),
            'slug' => 'base',
            'color' => '#f0f0f0',
        ],
        [
            'name' => sprintf( __( 'Base %s', 'generatepress' ), '2' ),
            'slug' => 'base-2',
            'color' => '#f0f7ff',
        ],
        [
            'name' => sprintf( __( 'Base %s', 'generatepress' ), '3' ),
            'slug' => 'base-3',
            'color' => '#ffffff',
        ],
        [
            'name' => __( 'accent', 'generatepress' ),
            'slug' => 'accent',
            'color' => '#f1276a',
        ],
    ];    

    return $settings;
} );

I would recommend disabling all your plugins except GP premium and the plugin inserting PHP code to test.

Also, disable all your other custom functions to eliminate conflicts.

If you are using a child theme, switch to the parent theme.
