We at 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 execute_on_admin_footer_hook_suffix_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter admin_footer-hook_suffix is the name of the hook, The second parameter execute_on_admin_footer_hook_suffix_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 admin_footer-hook_suffix action.
