WordPress Hook Generator
Instructions
When the user wants to add a WordPress hook:
Determine hook type:
- Action (
add_action): Performs an action, no return value
- Filter (
add_filter): Modifies data, must return a value
Apply naming convention:
- Prefix:
retrologin_
- Example:
retrologin_login_head, retrologin_custom_message
Create callback function:
- Use namespace:
Retrologin\
- Or use string callback:
'retrologin_callback'
Register the hook:
- Actions:
add_action('hook_name', 'callback', priority, args)
- Filters:
add_filter('hook_name', 'callback', priority, args)
Example
// Action: Enqueue assets on login page
add_action('login_enqueue_scripts', 'retrologin_enqueue_assets');
function retrologin_enqueue_assets(): void {
wp_enqueue_style('retrologin-login', plugins_url('dist/assets/login.css', __FILE__));
}
// Filter: Change logo URL
add_filter('login_headerurl', 'retrologin_login_logo_url');
function retrologin_login_logo_url(): string {
return home_url('/');
}
