So, you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks, huh? Let’s talk about the add_inline_data action. This hook is fired after outputting the fields for the inline editor for posts and pages. To use this action, you first have to register it using add_action. You can write this code into your theme’s functions.php or a custom WordPress Plugin. At WePlugins, we always prefer creating a custom plugin to avoid breaking changes when updating themes.

Example 1: Basic Usage

Here’s how you can use the add_inline_data hook in your WordPress plugin or theme. This example shows setting up a function that gets executed when this action is triggered.

    function weplugins_execute_on_add_inline_data_event($post, $post_type_object) {
        // Your custom code here
    }
    add_action("add_inline_data", "weplugins_execute_on_add_inline_data_event", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook

If you ever need to remove the add_inline_data action, you can use remove_action. Ensure the callback function name, priority, and number of arguments match as when you added the action.

    remove_action("add_inline_data", "weplugins_execute_on_add_inline_data_event", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Custom Functionality

This example demonstrates how to implement additional custom functionality using the parameters received in the execute_on_add_inline_data_event function according to your website’s requirements.

    function weplugins_custom_inline_data($post, $post_type_object) {
        // Implement your custom functionality here
    }
    add_action("add_inline_data", "weplugins_custom_inline_data", 10, 2);
    
Parameters: The add_inline_data action requires two parameters:

  • $post: (WP_Post) The current post object.
  • $post_type_object: (WP_Post_Type) The current post’s post type object.
