i am creating a wrapper class for wordpress settings API to generate theme options page. i used singleton design pattern to avoid multiple instance. is it the right place to use the pattern ? because wrapper class acts like a helper here so i dont think multiple instances are required.

And when i am extending the wrapper class can i inherit the singleton in child class as well?

child class is basically for custom fields(text,checkbox,etc).

thanks.

WP is still mostly coded in functional style so there are almost none class-based conventions for API access and such. Simply put - if it makes sense for you and from general PHP programming perspective then it's fine. – Rarst♦ Oct 11 '12 at 18:12
