How to use add_site_option action in WordPress

Hey there, fellow WordPress enthusiast! If you’re diving into the world of WordPress development, you might have stumbled upon the add_site_option action hook. This hook fires right after a network option is successfully added. It’s pretty handy when you’re working with multisite setups and need to perform additional tasks whenever a new option is added. Let’s break it down with some examples!

Example 1: Logging New Network Option

In this example, we’ll log the details of the newly added network option to a custom log file each time the add_site_option action is triggered.

    function weplugins_log_new_network_option($option, $value, $network_id) {
        $log_entry = "New network option added: {$option}, Value: {$value}, Network ID: {$network_id}n";
        file_put_contents(ABSPATH . 'network_option_log.txt', $log_entry, FILE_APPEND);
    }
    add_action('add_site_option', 'weplugins_log_new_network_option', 10, 3);
    

Example 2: Email Notification on Option Add

This example sends an email notification to the site admin every time a new network option is added, keeping them informed of changes.

    function weplugins_notify_admin_on_option_add($option, $value, $network_id) {
        $admin_email = get_option('admin_email');
        $subject = "New Network Option Added";
        $message = "Option: {$option}, Value: {$value}, Network ID: {$network_id}";
        wp_mail($admin_email, $subject, $message);
    }
    add_action('add_site_option', 'weplugins_notify_admin_on_option_add', 10, 3);
    

Example 3: Custom Functionality on Option Add

Suppose we have a custom functionality that needs to be executed whenever a new network option is added. Here’s how you can set it up:

    function weplugins_custom_function_on_option_add($option, $value, $network_id) {
        // Custom code here
    }
    add_action('add_site_option', 'weplugins_custom_function_on_option_add', 10, 3);
