WP_Customize_Manager::add_dynamic_settings( array $setting_ids )

Register any dynamically-created settings, such as those from $_POST[‘customized’] that have no corresponding setting created.


Description

This is a mechanism to "wake up" settings that have been dynamically created on the front end and have been sent to ClassicPress in $_POST['customized']. When WP loads, the dynamically-created settings then will get created and previewed even though they are not directly created statically with code.


Parameters

$setting_ids

(Required) The setting IDs to add.


Return

(array) The WP_Customize_Setting objects added.
