Tell us what you are trying to do? In ACF Pro, there is the possibility to have an "option page", meaning, I can have a fieldgroup in a place, where can have general informations, like contact info etc.

Does Toolset also have this?

Is there any documentation that you are following? Nope, at least not what I found yet.

I tried in chatGPT, but I am afraid, that this doesen't provided me with correct information:

Creating a Custom Toolset Options Page

If you want something like:

“Standort Einstellungen”
“Global Contact Data”
“Footer Settings”

How

Toolset → Settings → Custom Code

Enable Toolset Options Pages

Go to:

Toolset → Settings → Options Pages

Create a new page:

Slug: global_contact

Menu title: “Global Contact”

Now assign your Options Field Group to this page.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. Toolset doesn’t have an “Options Page” screen exactly like ACF’s Options Page, but Toolset supporters commonly handle “global settings” by storing them in one dedicated post (a single “settings” post) and then outputting that post’s custom fields wherever needed.

1) Create a “Global Settings” container (a CPT with 1 post)

- In Toolset → Post Types, create a new post type (example):
. Name: Site Settings (or Global Settings)
. Make it not public (so it won’t show on the front-end archives/search).
- In Toolset → Custom Fields, create a Field Group (example: “Global Contact Data”).
- Assign that Field Group to your new Site Settings post type.
- Add fields you need (phone, email, address, socials, etc.).

2) Create the single Settings post (the one source of truth)

- Go to Site Settings → Add New
- Create one post (example title: “Global Settings”)
- Fill in those fields and publish.

This is the “single post that holds the settings” approach supporters recommend for global info.

3) Display those global fields anywhere (via a View)

- Go to Toolset → Views → Add New (or use a view block if you do not prefer the legacy mode)
- Create a View that lists Site Settings
- In the View’s Query settings, ensure it returns only that one Settings post (e.g. filter by that post ID / specific post).
- In the View output, print the fields, for example:
. Phone: [wpv-post-field name="wpcf-phone"]
. Email: [wpv-post-field name="wpcf-email"]

4) Insert it where you need it
Put the View in templates/footers/pages wherever you need the global info using:
[wpv-view name="your-view-slug"]

Thanks.
