Settings Page Style

I think I have the same problem, I think I found out why. To me this looks like a bug.

When you have just style=no-boxes and columns=1 set, nothing changed and you still get the boxed layout.
When you add the tabs key, then the no-boxes layout kicks in.

$settings_pages[] = [
    'id'          => 'vacancies',
    'option_name' => 'vacancy',
    'menu_title'  => __('Vacancies', 'vac'),
    'parent'      => 'options-general.php',
    'style'       => 'no-boxes',
    'columns'     => 1,

    // remove this and the box layout appears
    'tabs'        => [ 'test' => "Test" ]
];

This is undesirable because we just want to mimic a normal WP settings page, those don’t have tabs and no white boxes.

Or am I missing something?

Hi Long, I am seeing the same thing. no-boxes style is being ignored if tabs are not present. I think myself and the other commentators want a single page, flat settings page. no tabs, no boxes, just basic fields. Thanks

public function settings_page( array $settings_pages ) : array {
        $settings_pages[] = array(
            'id'          => 'social-media',
            'option_name' => 'poa',
            'menu_title'  => esc_html__( 'Social Media', 'poa' ),
            'parent'      => 'options-general.php',
            'style'       => 'no-boxes',
            'columns'     => 1,
        );

        return $settings_pages;

    }

Hi Long,

This fixes the issue. Great work, thanks a lot!

You need to clear the composer cache and re-install (not update) the vendor plugins.

rm -rf vendor && composer clear-cache && composer install

See the docs here: https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/composer/#versions–updates

Ain’t that the truth. 😉
