NG your idea is alright in a way but if you think about it an options table would be empty if not for plugins.

So the solution I think is that core wordpress installation options should be in their own table, a far more important table.

Also a new add_optionsgroup function would be good where we can do something like…

$names = “example1,example2,example3″;
$values = “value1,value2,value3″;
add_optiongroup(‘name1′,’name2′)

Simple I know I dont have to spell it out like that really but my point is this simple solution would encourage what this page is all about.

In addition to your excellent approach to using arrays, a separate wp_options_plugins table should be added to Wordpress on future releases. This way if the wp_options_plugins table becomes so bloated the blog starts to slow to a crawl it could be dropped, and recreated after the plugins are reactivated, without having any impact on the core Wordpress settings and options stored in the wp_options table.

It seems the Wordpress architecture should have separated things when the wp-options table was first conceived. Instead blog owners are trying to manually remove entries in wp_options table after getting errors like:

“WordPress database error Out of memory”

Firstly thanks for that amazing article, after that saving the updates as option_template and calling back is so easy for me…
Thanks again…
