For various reasons, I find myself in the position of needing to update options read by get_option() and written by update_option() in the context of a feed add-on.
How do I accomplish this?
I thought I’d override get_plugin_settings() and update_plugin_settings(), but that doesn’t seem possible.
tia,
In the meantime, I’m going to accept the duplicate values. This means the current plugin options will remain. When the options for this feed add-on change, it will update the plugin options too.
Solved by treating the new plugin settings as shadows of the original plugin settings.
When is_admin() is true, write the shadowed values from the working ones. on admin page load.
On save, write the working values from the shadowed ones.
The functions get_previous_settings(), get_posted_settings(), get_current_settings() are required for this to work.
