ThemePlus – Modern Theme Options Framework by FrontTheme

ThemePlus is a free, open-source WordPress theme options framework built for developers who want a modern, lightweight React-powered options panel — no legacy dependencies, no upsells, no license keys. Built from scratch with React, Vite, and modern PHP 8, ThemePlus delivers a polished admin interface, 30 field types, full white-label support, Google Fonts integration, custom font uploads, Import/Export, conditional logic, a REST API, and a Developer Panel — all free, with no license keys and no upsells. 30 Field Types Every input a theme could need, organized into clean categories:

• Text — Text, Textarea
• Number — Number / Spinner, Slider
• Choice — Select, Button Set, Radio, Checkbox, Select Image
• Toggle — Toggle / Switch
• Color — Color Picker, Gradient Picker
• Media — Image, Gallery, Icon (FontAwesome 6)
• Layout — Typography, Dimensions, Spacing, Border
• Special — Info, Section, Raw, Shortcode
• Date — Date Picker (date only or date + time)
• Social — Social Media Links (20 platforms)
• Code — Code Editor (CSS, JavaScript, HTML)
• Advanced — Repeater, Background, Link, Group

Every field has a verified, documented value shape. For example:

• image returns { id, url, width, height, alt, title } — empty array when no image selected
• gallery returns an array of { id, url, alt } rows
• border returns { width, style, color, radius }
• social_media returns an array of { platform, url } rows
• repeater returns an array of row arrays keyed by sub-field id
• gradient_picker returns a complete CSS linear-gradient() string

White-Label Support ThemePlus is designed to disappear into your theme. Configure themeplus_framework_config() with your theme's name, slug, option key, and icon — your users see your theme's own settings panel, never "ThemePlus". Convention: section and subsection icon takes a FontAwesome name only ('pen'). The Icon field default takes the full FontAwesome class ('fa-solid fa-star'). The plugin translates its own fallback strings; your theme translates its config strings in your own text domain. Google Fonts + Custom Fonts The Typography field includes a searchable browser of 1,899 Google Fonts with live preview, weight and style selection, subset support, and automatic font enqueueing on the frontend. Skip Google Fonts entirely and upload self-hosted fonts (WOFF2, WOFF) via the built-in Custom Fonts module — magic-byte verified, capability-gated, and output into @font-face rules automatically. Note: Custom fonts are stored as Media Library attachments and are not affected by Reset All or Reset Section — use the per-font Delete button to remove uploaded files. Conditional Logic Show or hide any field based on the value of another. Supports 10 operators and three relation formats: Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=, contains, !contains, empty, !empty Single condition: 'required' => ['sidebar_position', '==', 'left'] Multiple AND conditions: 'required' => [['enable_header', '==', true], ['header_style', '!=', 'minimal']] Multiple OR conditions: 'required' => ['relation' => 'OR', 'conditions' => [['mode', '==', 'simple'], ['mode', '==', 'expert']]] Array value (matches any): 'required' => ['header_elements', 'contains', 'search'] Dot-notation sub-key: 'required' => ['body_typography.font-family', '==', 'Inter'] empty / !empty note: false and 0 are NOT considered empty — only truly absent values, empty strings, empty arrays, and null. Sections and Subsections Organize theme options into a hierarchical sidebar. Add sections with themeplus_add_section(), nest subsections inline via the subsections key, or attach subsections from a separate hook with themeplus_add_subsection() — the pattern for child themes and extension plugins. Import / Export Backup and restore all theme settings with one click. Import/Export handles JSON serialization and restores defaults cleanly. REST API Full REST API under the themeplus/v1 namespace — get options, save options, reset all, reset section, get configuration. All endpoints require the configured capability (default edit_theme_options) with nonce verification. Options are sanitized per field type before storage. Developer Panel Enable dev mode (define('THEMEPLUS_DEV', true)) to access a Developer Panel showing every registered field with its current value, PHP data type, and copy-ready code snippets for all three access patterns. Includes field statistics by type and section. Security

• All saved options pass through a per-field-type sanitizer (ThemePlus_Sanitizer) — unknown keys are dropped, values are validated against registered field configuration
• REST endpoints are capability-gated with nonce verification
• Font uploads are MIME-type and magic-byte verified
• Output is escaped at every render point
