    To load multiple tabs in custom page settings, you will need to use this function.

    For example, if I wish to have these settings pages:

    • /options-general.php?page=stripe-payment – Default page
    • /options-general.php?page=stripe-payment&action=test – Test page

    So you must have two different sections and call it like:

    if ($_GET['action'] !== 'test') {
  settings_fields('stripe_payment_settings');
  echo '<table class="form-table">'; // Must to add this wrapper to keep it like WordPress default UI
  do_settings_fields('stripe-payment, 'stripe_payment_settings_section');
  echo '</table>';
} else {
  settings_fields('stripe_payment_test');
  echo '<table class="form-table">';
  do_settings_fields('stripe-payment, 'stripe_payment_test_section');
  echo '</table>';
}
