How to use after_core_auto_updates_settings action in WordPress

after_core_auto_updates_settings action

Fires after the major core auto-update settings.

To use after_core_auto_updates_settings 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 execute_on_after_core_auto_updates_settings_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter after_core_auto_updates_settings is the name of the hook, the second parameter execute_on_after_core_auto_updates_settings_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 after_core_auto_updates_settings action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $auto_update_settings: (array) Array of core auto-update settings.
  • ‘dev’: (bool) Whether to enable automatic updates for development versions.
  • ‘minor’: (bool) Whether to enable minor automatic core updates.
  • ‘major’: (bool) Whether to enable major automatic core updates.

Live Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage of the Hook

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

    function weplugins_execute_on_after_core_auto_updates_settings_event($auto_update_settings){
       // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress.
       // Use the parameters received in the function arguments & implement the required additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.
    }
    // add the action
    add_action("after_core_auto_updates_settings", "weplugins_execute_on_after_core_auto_updates_settings_event", 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook Callback

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action("after_core_auto_updates_settings", "weplugins_execute_on_after_core_auto_updates_settings_event", 10, 1);
    

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

Example 3: Customizing Auto-Update Settings

In this example, we’ll modify the core auto-update settings before they are applied.

    function weplugins_customize_auto_update_settings($auto_update_settings) {
        $auto_update_settings['major'] = false; // Disable major updates
        return $auto_update_settings;
    }
    add_filter('after_core_auto_updates_settings', 'weplugins_customize_auto_update_settings');
