Syncing settings

Hi Mike,

All of our defaults are filterable, so you can create a network-active plugin which adds your defaults to new sites.

This file has a lot of the defaults: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.3.2/inc/defaults.php

So for example, if we wanted to target generate_option_defaults, we could do this:

add_filter( 'generate_option_defaults', function( $defaults ) {
    $defaults['container_width'] = '1500';
    $defaults['layout_setting'] = 'left-sidebar';

    return $defaults;
} );

Unfortunately, we haven't documented all of the available for each option as of right now. I'll see if we can get that done ASAP.

Let me know if you need more info :)

Thanks Tom, useful.

So is it a case of setting up a site, exporting the settings and then manually writing the filters into a plugin? Or is there a way of going from the export file to code in some way?

Right now it's a manual process, which sucks. I've made a note to play with a method to do it automatically, as that would be awesome.

Thanks Tom, much appreciate your quick and candid answers :-)

The way that ACF does it is really cool - you may want to take a look there for reference:

In particular what we like about it is being able to bring ACF settings into source control - but it also means that in scenarios like the multisite one I outline above you can easily edit / set defaults.

cheers

Mike

Awesome, thanks for sharing that! Super useful :)
