WP_REST_Settings_Controller::sanitize_callback( mixed $value, WP_REST_Request $request, string $param )

Custom sanitize callback used for all options to allow the use of ‘null’.


Description

By default, the schema of settings will throw an error if a value is set to null as it’s not a valid value for something like "type => string". We provide a wrapper sanitizer to whitelist the use of null.


Parameters

$value

(Required) The value for the setting.

$request

(Required) The request object.

$param

(Required) The parameter name.


Return

(mixed|WP_Error)
