Custom Global Variables

Create your own custom variables to manage information on your website such as:

• Phone numbers
• Addresses
• Social media links
• HTML snippets
• And anything else test

Easily access them globally in Wordpress and PHP. Why you need it Rather than having to change something like an email address across multiple pages, you can do it in one place. Avoid the pitfalls of hard coding information in your Wordpress theme that is likely to change. Why it's better

• Your variables are stored and retrieved locally without any calls to the database. That means faster load times for your pages!
• Variables can be accessed easily in PHP from the global scope.

1.1.3

• Fixed variables appearing to be lost after AUTH_KEY changes. When there is no saved data for the current key and exactly one previous data file exists, it is copied for the current key. The previous file is kept. When several previous files exist, nothing is chosen automatically and a warning is shown to administrators.
• Variables are now saved through a temporary file, and the previous data is kept as a .bak file. A failed save no longer empties the data file.
• A data file that cannot be read is no longer treated as empty. Administrators see an error, the backup is used if available, and the broken file is kept with a ".corrupt-" suffix when saving.
• "0" can now be saved as a value and displayed with the shortcode.
• Values containing HTML entities such as <b> are no longer changed when saving the settings page again.
• Fixed a PHP warning when [cgv] is used without a variable name.
• Improved input handling on the settings page.
