Add Link to WordPress “All-Settings”

As we’ve explained before, WordPress makes it easy to view and edit your blog settings from the Admin area. Thanks to a file named options.php, WordPress will display all of your database settings and enable you to edit a majority of them. To view this page, you need to log in as Admin and enter this URL in your browser’s address bar:

http://domain.tld/wp-admin/options.php

Having access to your “All-Settings” page can be extremely helpful, so it’s nice to display a direct link for easy access. The following slice of code in your functions.php file is all that’s needed: 

// admin link for all settings
function all_settings_link() {
	add_options_page(__('All Settings'), __('All Settings'), 'administrator', 'options.php');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'all_settings_link');

Once in place, you will see a link to your “All Settings” page in the WordPress Admin. You can change the name of the link to whatever you prefer by editing the two instances of “All Settings”.
