# Settings

This configuration contains parameters that HivePress uses for registering the custom settings. Each setting is defined as an array of HivePress [field](/developer-docs/framework/fields.md) parameters. The array key is used as the setting name (prefixed with `hp_`).

The code example below adds a new checkbox setting to the **HivePress > Settings > Listings > Display** section. In the same way, you can customize any of the available settings or register a new one by adding an array with the field parameters.

```php
add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/settings',
	function( $settings ) {
		$settings['listings']['sections']['display']['fields']['custom_option'] = [
			'label'  => 'Custom Option',
			'type'   => 'checkbox',
			'_order' => 123,
		];

		return $settings;
	}
);
```

After the setting is added, you can get its value by calling the [get\_option](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_option/) function with the setting name (prefixed with `hp_`):

```php
$value = get_option( 'hp_custom_option' );
```
