Properties

Note: Please refer source code for the complete list of properties.

Public Properties

The following properties are built into the WP_Screen class.

$action
Any action associated with the screen. 'add' for *-add.php and *-new.php screens. Empty otherwise.
$base
The base type of the screen. This is typically the same as $id but with any post types and taxonomies stripped. For example, for an $id of 'edit-post' the base is 'edit'.
$id
The unique ID of the screen.
$is_network
Whether the screen is in the network admin.
$is_user
Whether the screen is in the user admin.
$parent_base
The base menu parent. This is derived from $parent_file by removing the query string and any .php extension. $parent_file values of 'edit.php?post_type=page' and 'edit.php?post_type=post' have a $parent_base of 'edit'.
$parent_file
The $parent_file for the screen per the admin menu system. Some $parent_file values are 'edit.php?post_type=page', 'edit.php', and 'options-general.php'.
$post_type
The post type associated with the screen, if any. The 'edit.php?post_type=page' screen has a post type of 'page'. The 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=$taxonomy&post_type=page' screen has a post type of 'page'.
$taxonomy
The taxonomy associated with the screen, if any. The 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category' screen has a taxonomy of 'category'.

    Some additional notes from the old codex pages which are useful for implementing get_current_screen() functionality, the WP_Screen object returned will be null if called from the admin_init hook.

    A successful call will return an object with the following fields,

    • id (string) The unique ID of the screen
    • action (string) Any action associated with the screen. ‘add’ for *-new.php screens. Empty otherwise.
    • base (string) The base type of the screen. For example, for a page ‘post-new.php’ the base is ‘post’.
    • parent_base (string) The base menu parent. This is derived from $parent_file by removing the query string and any .php extension. For example, parent_file values of ‘edit.php?post_type=page’ and ‘edit.php?post_type=post’ have a parent_base of ‘edit’
    • parent_file (string) The parent_file for the screen per the admin menu system. Some parent_file values are ‘edit.php?post_type=page’, ‘edit.php’, and ‘options-general.php’
    • post_type (string) The post type associated with the screen, if any. For example, the ‘edit.php?post_type=page’ screen has a post type of ‘page’
    • taxonomy (string) The taxonomy associated with the screen, if any. For example, the ‘edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category’ screen has a taxonomy of ‘category’

    How to configure the current screen ‘layout_columns’ and ‘per_page’ options:

    // Set the default screen layout columns add_screen_option( 'layout_columns', array( 'max' => 2, 'default' => 2, ) ); // Set screen per page option add_screen_option( 'per_page', array( 'default' => 10, 'label' => __( 'Items Per Page', 'uexplorer' ), /** * Note: * * The 'option' argument specify what [name] to use to save the 'per_page' option * For example, if 'option' => 'my_per_page_option', then to retrieve the option value do: * $screen->get_option( 'per_page', 'option' ) * * But when the 'option' argument is set to false or omitted, the current screen ID will be * used and suffixed with '_per_page' as the current screen 'per_page' option name: * * This is how the 'per_page' option name is set when omitted or set to false: * $option = str_replace( '-', '_', "{$screen->id}_per_page" ); * * Then to retrieve it, do: * $per_page = $screen->get_option( 'per_page', str_replace( '-', '_', "{$screen->id}_per_page" ) ); */ 'option' => false, // use the current screen ID and append '_per_page' to it. Also replace '-' with '_' ) );
