Dropdown Page

The Dropdown Page controller allows users to select a page using a dropdown menu.

Demonstration

 
Handy::control( 'dropdown-page', [
    'id'          => 'dropdown_page_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Dropdown Page Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
]);

TIP

Here's an example using the default parameter. Note the default value accepts only a valid page id.

 
Handy::control( 'dropdown-page', [
    'id'          => 'dropdown_page_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'default'     => 100,
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Dropdown Page Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
]);

TIP

Here's an example using the status and order parameters. Note the status values accepts only publish, future, draft, pending, private, trash, auto-draft and inherit, for further details, read WordPress Post Status, while order value only accepts asc (assending) and desc (decending) order.

 
Handy::control( 'dropdown-page', [
    'id'          => 'dropdown_page_id',
    'section'     => 'layout_section',
    'default'     => 100,
    'label'       => esc_html__( 'Dropdown Page Control', 'textdomain' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Description Here', 'textdomain' ),
    'priority'    => 1,
    'status'      => [ 'publish', 'pending' ],
    'order'       => 'asc'
]);
