How to use after_wp_tiny_mce action in WordPress

Working with WordPress hooks can be a game-changer for customizing your site, and the after_wp_tiny_mce action is no exception. This hook fires after any core TinyMCE editor instances are created, giving you a chance to add some extra magic to your WordPress editor. Let’s explore how you can use this hook effectively.

To use the after_wp_tiny_mce action, you’ll first need to register it with add_action. You can place this in your theme’s functions.php file or, even better, create a custom WordPress plugin. Why? Because it keeps your changes intact even if you update your theme—smart move, right?

Example 1: Basic Usage

Here’s a straightforward example of how to use the after_wp_tiny_mce action to execute a function when the TinyMCE editor is initialized.

    function weplugins_execute_on_after_wp_tiny_mce_event($mce_settings){
        // Your custom code here
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "after_wp_tiny_mce", "weplugins_execute_on_after_wp_tiny_mce_event" , 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook

Sometimes, you need to remove a hook. Here’s how you can remove the after_wp_tiny_mce action using remove_action.

    remove_action( "after_wp_tiny_mce", "weplugins_execute_on_after_wp_tiny_mce_event", 10, 1 );
    

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

Example 3: Advanced Customization

Let’s say you want to modify the TinyMCE settings. You can pass the $mce_settings array to your function to customize the editor’s behavior.

    function weplugins_customize_tinymce($mce_settings){
        $mce_settings['plugins'] = 'spellchecker';
        return $mce_settings;
    }
    add_action( "after_wp_tiny_mce", "weplugins_customize_tinymce" , 10, 1);
