How to use add_tag_form action in WordPress

Alright, let’s dive into the world of WordPress hooks. As an Indian developer, I know how crucial it is to have a solid grasp of these hooks to extend your site’s functionality effortlessly. Among them, the add_tag_form action hook is a handy one, especially when dealing with taxonomy forms. Let’s explore how you can use it in your projects.

Example 1: Adding Custom Message to Add Tag Form

In this example, we’re adding a custom message to the Add Tag form. This can be useful if you want to inform your users about specific taxonomy guidelines.

    function weplugins_execute_on_add_tag_form_event($taxonomy) {
        echo '<p class="description">Please ensure the tag name follows our guidelines.</p>';
    }
    add_action("add_tag_form", "weplugins_execute_on_add_tag_form_event", 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Displaying Additional Fields in the Form

If you need to collect more information, you can add extra fields to the form using this hook. Here’s how you can do it:

    function weplugins_add_extra_fields_to_tag_form($taxonomy) {
        echo '<div class="form-field">
                <label for="extra_field">Extra Field</label>
                <input type="text" name="extra_field" id="extra_field">
              </div>';
    }
    add_action("add_tag_form", "weplugins_add_extra_fields_to_tag_form", 10, 1);
    

Example 3: Removing an Existing Callback

There might be situations where you need to remove an existing callback from the hook. Here’s an example of how to do that:

    remove_action("add_tag_form", "weplugins_execute_on_add_tag_form_event", 10, 1);
