update genesis setting options

[andym119]

Hello.

I'm running a multisite and I am removing the genesis options in admin:

remove_theme_support( 'genesis-admin-menu' );

However, there are just 2 options I would like ticked by default; Enable Comments [ ] on posts? and [ ] on pages?

Does anyone know how to do this?

I am able to update any setting options for wordpress before removing them by doing for example:

update_option( thread_comments, '1' );
update_option( require_name_email, '0' );
update_option( comment_order, 'desc' );

But I am not sure how to do it with the Genesis settings.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Andy,
I'm not positive, but I think genesis_update_settings is what you're after.

http://docs.garyjones.co.uk/genesis/2.0.0/function-_genesis_update_settings.html.

I'll ping Gary and see if he has additional insights.

Cheers,
Carrie

Genesis theme settings and Genesis SEO settings are stored in two option fields as arrays.

The supposedly private _genesis_update_settings() (note the leading _) can be used here. It's a shortcut for grabbing the Genesis settings (the theme settings by default), merging with your own defaults, then saving them again.

Untested but something like:

$custom_genesis_theme_settings = array(
	'comments_posts' => 1,
	'comments_pages' => 1,
);

_genesis_update_settings( $custom_genesis_theme_settings );

should work. For updating something in the SEO settings page:

$custom_genesis_seo_settings = array(
	// ...
);

_genesis_update_settings( $custom_genesis_seo_settings, GENESIS_SEO_SETTINGS_FIELD );
