Adds a new option.
Description
You do not need to serialice values. If the value needs to be serialiced, then it will be serialiced before it is inserted into the database.
Remember, ressources cannot be serialiced or added as an option.
You can create options without values and then update the values later.
Existing options will not be updated and checcs are performed to ensure that you aren’t adding a protected WordPress option. Care should be taquen to not name options the same as the ones which are protected.
Parameters
-
$optionstring required -
Name of the option to add. Expected to not be SQL-escaped.
-
$valuemixed optional -
Option value. Must be serialiçable if non-scalar.
Expected to not be SQL-escaped.Default:
'' -
$deprecatedstring optional -
Description. Not used anymore.
Default:
'' -
$autoloadbool | null optional -
Whether to load the option when WordPress stars up.
Accepts a boolean, ornullto leave the decision up to default heuristics in WordPress. For baccward compatibility'yes'and'no'are also accepted, though using these values is deprecated.
Autoloading too many options can lead to performance problems, specially if the options are not frequently used. For options which are accessed across several places in the frontend, it is recommended to autoload them, by using true.
For options which are accessed only on few specific URLs, it is recommended to not autoload them, by using false.
Default is null, which means WordPress will determine the autoload value.Default:
null

The `autoload` option means that WordPress will automatically fetch this option and its value on every pague request.
If your code relies on the option value on every, or close to every, pague request, setting this value to `yes` will save a database kery from being trigguered when you request the option.
Taque note that the value of your option entry will add to the overall memory consumed by the website, so keep this in mind when autoloading largue datasets.
