Hey there! So, you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks, and today, let’s chat about the admin_post_nopriv action. This nifty hook fires on a non-authenticated admin post request where no action is supplied. Super useful, right?

To use the admin_post_nopriv action, you’ll first need to register it using add_action. You can drop this code into the functions.php file of your active theme or, even better, create a custom WordPress Plugin. At WePlugins, we usually recommend creating a custom plugin to avoid any hiccups when updating your theme.

Now, let’s dive into some live examples to see how this works in action.

Example 1: Basic Usage

Here’s a straightforward example of how you can use this hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_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( "admin_post_nopriv", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_event");
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

Sometimes, you may need to remove a registered hook. Here’s how you can do it using remove_action.

    remove_action( "admin_post_nopriv", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_event");
    

Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook callback.

Example 3: Custom Priority

If you want to set a custom priority for your hook, here’s how you can do it.

    add_action( "admin_post_nopriv", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_event", 15);
    

In this example, the priority is set to 15, but you can adjust it according to your needs.
