admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup action

Fires when admin styles enqueued for the legacy (pre-3.5.0) media upload popup are printed.

To use admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup 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.

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 weplugins_execute_on_admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup is the name of the hook, The second parameter weplugins_execute_on_admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup_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.

Sometime, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_action to remove admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup action.

Parameters

  • No parameters

Live Example

do_action( 'admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup' )

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

Example 1

In this example, we define a function to be executed when the action occurs.

    function weplugins_execute_on_admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup_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_print_styles-media-upload-popup", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup_event");
    

Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action( "admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup", "weplugins_execute_on_admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup_event");
    

Example 3

Another way to define and register the function.

    function weplugins_custom_admin_styles() {
        // Custom styles or scripts can be added here
        echo '<style>#wpadminbar { background-color: #23282d; }</style>';
    }
    add_action( 'admin_print_styles-media-upload-popup', 'weplugins_custom_admin_styles' );
    

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