I am attempting to use update_option to add or update an option.
I have created a test below which creates a settings page and when loaded it runs my awd_do_sync function, but the option does not get added or updated - why is this happening and what is the fix?
class MyClass {
public function __construct() {
add_action( 'admin_menu', array( $this, 'awd_settings' ) );
}
public function awd_settings() {
add_submenu_page(
'options-general.php',
'AWD Settings',
'AWD',
'manage_options',
'awd-settings',
array( $this, 'awd_settings_page' )
);
}
public function awd_settings_page() {
$this->awd_do_sync();
}
public function awd_do_sync() {
$log = 'test';
update_option( 'awd_log', $log );
}
}
$go = new MyClass();
SOLVED:
I realised this was occurring because in my code, $log was a huge amount of text, therefore it appears there is a limit to what you can store in an option.
