how to get customizer value/setting

Hi there,

you can use the option_generate_blog_settings filter to set the various GPP blog options, including the featured image location:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/option_generate_blog_settings/

there seems to be a misunderstanding - I do not want to set it, I'd like to retrieve the value from the customizer - something like: get_option( 'generate-blog-settings' )

Sorry my bad ... misread that completely.
Thats correct you can use get_option like so:

$settings = wp_parse_args(
        get_option( 'generate_blog_settings', array() ),
        generate_blog_get_defaults()
);

you can then check the array for the settings listed in the article i provided above.

you can always var_dump($settings) to see all of them.

I've added a custom setting to the customizer in the general panel - it shows up right after the smooth scroll checkbox. however, I do not see the newly added setting - what am I missing?
Thank you in advance for your input.

this is the code to retrieve the settings:
$settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_general_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );

this is the code I used to add a new checkbox:

function prefix_add_customizer_options( $wp_customize ) {
    
    // Enable/disable lazy loading
    $wp_customize->add_setting ( 'generate_settings[lazy_load]',
        array (
            'default'           => false,
            'type'              => 'option',
            'sanitize_callback' => 'generate_sanitize_checkbox',
        )
    );

    $wp_customize->add_control ( 'generate_settings[lazy_load]',
        array (
            'type'              => 'checkbox',
            'label'             => __( 'Enable lazy load', 'generatepress' ),
            'description'       => __( 'Set if you like to enable lazy loading.', 'generatepress' ),
            'section'           => 'generate_general_section',
            'priority'          => 99
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'customize_register','prefix_add_customizer_options' );

Your code worked for me:

That's what I'm saying - however if you want to retrieve the value like $settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_general_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );, the new setting is not in that $settings array for some reason?!

Aah sorry.

Try this:

$settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );

same this - setting doesn't show up in that array - neither of the following works although the setting shows up in the backend:

 echo 'MOD: ' . get_option( 'generate_settings[lazy_load]');
    echo 'MOD: ' . get_theme_mod( 'generate_settings[lazy_load]' );
   $settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_general_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );
   $settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );

once I've checked/unchecked the setting it now shows up only with this:
$settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );

all the other ones don't work - what I was wondering is why this isn't working: $settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_general_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() ); from what I understand this should get the general settings panel and it actually does but not the custom setting that I've added

When i do this:

$settings = wp_parse_args( get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ), generate_get_defaults() );

I see this:
