add_settings_section( string $id, string $title, callable $callback, string $page )
Add a new section to a settings page.
Description
Part of the Settings API. Use this to define new settings sections for an admin page. Show settings sections in your admin page callback function with do_settings_sections(). Add settings fields to your section with add_settings_field()
The $callback argument should be the name of a function that echoes out any content you want to show at the top of the settings section before the actual fields. It can output nothing if you want.
Parameters
- $id

(Required) Slug-name to identify the section. Used in the 'id' attribute of tags.
- $title

(Required) Formatted title of the section. Shown as the heading for the section.
- $callback
-
(Required) Function that echos out any content at the top of the section (between heading and fields).
- $page

(Required) The slug-name of the settings page on which to show the section. Built-in pages include 'general', 'reading', 'writing', 'discussion', 'media', etc. Create your own using add_options_page();
