I am trying to remove a theme action for an elegant-themes theme using a child theme.. This works when I remove action after add_action code anywhere in the parent theme functions.php. However, it does not work when I add it from child theme functions.php. remove_action (‘after_setup_theme’, ‘et_pb_setup_theme’ , 10); Remove action has same priority 10 … Read more
After the solution to this question was to get a function to launch BEFORE the init action is fired by taking the sequence out of its function, it got me thinking, is there any earlier in the WP load sequence that I can hook a function into? 3 muplugins_loaded is the earliest hook. Depending on … Read more

So i need to override that old action function with my new action function. This is my new function. function new_action($pid) { “code goes here” } } I … Read more
In apply_filters() apply_filters( $tag, $value, $var … ); I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the $value and $var. I read the codex and it sounds like the $value can be modified, $var not, but I haven’t found any examples of this in the wild. It seems to be used as a way to pass … Read more
I have been developing plugins for WordPress, most plugins I have developed use two or three classes, hence not as huge as Buddypress or WooCommerce. I am planning to develop two open source plugins to deliver some sort of complex system (can’t share details at the moment but later during development) where other developers can … Read more
This question might be wrong, I am not sure about it. Because I am not clear on this. I know add_action it is used to to hook our function to the specified function. For example add_action(‘wp_head’.’myfunc’); now what ever code in myfunc will be executed in the wp_head(). This is clear but i am having … Read more
When looking through WordPress snippets/tutorials/plugins I often see add_action() and add_filter() being placed before the function is declared: add_action( ‘publish_post’, ’email_friends’ ); function email_friends( $post_ID ) { $friends=”[email protected], [email protected]”; mail( $friends, “sally’s blog updated” , ‘I just put something on my blog: http://blog.example.com’ ); return $post_ID; } From a logic standpoint this just doesn’t make … Read more
I have a plugin and I would like to be able to run the post content through some filters before it is saved to the database. From looking at the plugin api, I see that two hooks that look like they might be helpful: save_post wp_insert_post The only problem is that it looks like save_post … Read more
I’m trying to enqueue a JS script only when someone is adding or editing a custom post type I created called “recipes”. Currently the script works ok when I do this: if (is_admin()){ wp_enqueue_script( ‘my-script’ ); } But this loads it in every admin page, I’m assuming I need to hook it to a function … Read more
This is kind of a stupid question… I scheduled a action to run every hour: if(!wp_next_scheduled(‘my_hourly_events’)) wp_schedule_event(time(), ‘hourly’, ‘my_hourly_events’); add_action(‘my_hourly_events’, ‘the_function_to_run’); function the_function_to_run(){ echo ‘it works!’; } How can I test if this works without waiting an hour? 🙂 I tried adding wp_clear_scheduled_hook(‘my_hourly_events’); before this code and adding wp_cron() after, but I don’t see my … Read more
