Ever wondered how you can make your WordPress site do exactly what you want when a specific action occurs? Let me introduce you to the admin_post_nopriv_action hook. This is a powerful tool in the WordPress development arsenal, allowing you to execute custom code when a certain action is triggered, even for non-logged-in users. We’ll explore how to use this hook with some live examples. Let’s dive in!
Here’s a simple example of how to use the admin_post_nopriv_action hook. First, we define a function and then register it using add_action.
function weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_action_event() {
// Code to be executed when the action occurs.
}
// add the action
add_action( "admin_post_nopriv_action", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_action_event");
Sometimes, you might want to remove a registered hook. You can do this using remove_action. Here’s how you can remove the hook we registered earlier.
remove_action( "admin_post_nopriv_action", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_post_nopriv_action_event");
Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
With dynamic hooks, you can execute different actions based on the $action parameter. Here’s how you can use it.
$action = 'custom_action'; // Replace with your action
do_action( "admin_post_nopriv_{$action}" );
