Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/igorrybalko/step-options/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Step Options
A simple and flexible WordPress plugin for creating global site options (similar to ACF Options Pages), with the ability to dynamically add fields directly from the admin panel.

Current features:
- Dynamically add / remove fields from the admin interface
- Supported field types: text, textarea, wysiwyg (visual editor), image
- Easy output via the getstepoption() function or shortcode
- HTML and automatic paragraph support in wysiwyg fields
