Get color manager using php

Support
#1

Hey,
Is it possible to get the colors from the color manager using php? Basically what I’m trying to to is a custom shortcode that will print a particular color from the color manager. The shortcode I can manage, but I’m not sure how to get the colors from the manager using php code.
Thanks!

Actually, I’m looking to access the colors chosen in the color manager. Not the Wordpress Color Picker

Hey @magikweb,

Regretfully, there is no way to get the values. It could be technically possible but this would be outside the scope of our support.

I can give you a tip or a starting point though. The colors are stored in the wp_options table with cornerstone_color_items as the option name. The colors are stored as serialized data so you will need a way to get the value from the database and read the data.

Hope that helps.
