How to use added_usermeta action in WordPress

added_usermeta action

To use the added_usermeta action, first you have to register it using add_action. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

WePlugins always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter added_usermeta is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event is the name of the function which needs to be called, the third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook, so you can use remove_action to remove the added_usermeta action.

Parameters

• No parameters

Live Example 1: Registering the Hook

Below is an example of how you can use this hook.

function weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event(){
    // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress website according to your requirements.
}
// add the action
add_action("added_usermeta", "weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event");

Live Example 2: Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

remove_action("added_usermeta", "weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event");

Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.

Live Example 3: Advanced Usage

Here’s an advanced example where we pass arguments to the function.

function weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event($user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value){
    // Custom code based on user meta data.
}
// add the action with 3 arguments
add_action("added_usermeta", "weplugins_execute_on_added_usermeta_event", 10, 3);
