Description

Updates the value of an option that was already added.You do not need to serialize values. If the value needs to be serialized, then it will be serialized before it is inserted into the database. Remember, resources cannot be serialized or added as an option. If the option does not exist, it will be created. This function is designed to work with or without a logged-in user. In terms of security, plugin developers should check the current user's capabilities before updating any options.
