+Open your current theme **functions.php** file and paste this code.
+
+```php
+// Check core class for avoid errors
+if( class_exists( 'CSF' ) ) {
+
+  // Set a unique slug-like ID
+  $prefix = 'my_framework';
+
+  // Create options
+  CSF::createOptions( $prefix, array(
+    'menu_title' => 'My Framework',
+    'menu_slug'  => 'my-framework',
+  ) );
+
+  // Create a section
+  CSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
+    'title'  => 'Tab Title 1',
+    'fields' => array(
+
+      // A text field
+      array(
+        'id'    => 'opt-text',
+        'type'  => 'text',
+        'title' => 'Simple Text',
+      ),
+
+    )
+  ) );
+
+  // Create a section
+  CSF::createSection( $prefix, array(
+    'title'  => 'Tab Title 2',
+    'fields' => array(
+
+      // A textarea field
+      array(
+        'id'    => 'opt-textarea',
+        'type'  => 'textarea',
+        'title' => 'Simple Textarea',
+      ),
+
+    )
+  ) );
+
+}
+```
+How to get option value ?
+```php
+$options = get_option( 'my_framework' ); // unique id of the framework
+
+echo $options['opt-text']; // id of the field
+echo $options['opt-textarea']; // id of the field
+```
