Working with WordPress hooks can be quite exciting, especially when you get to add custom functionalities without altering the core. One of the hooks you might find useful is the auth_cookie_bad_session_token action. This hook fires when a bad session token is encountered, allowing you to execute specific functions. Let’s dive into how you can use this hook effectively!
In this example, we’ll register a function to execute whenever a bad session token is detected. This function can be added to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin.
function weplugins_execute_on_auth_cookie_bad_session_token($cookie_elements) {
// Implement your custom functionality here.
}
add_action('auth_cookie_bad_session_token', 'weplugins_execute_on_auth_cookie_bad_session_token', 10, 1);
Sometimes, you might need to remove a previously registered hook. Here’s how you can do that:
remove_action('auth_cookie_bad_session_token', 'weplugins_execute_on_auth_cookie_bad_session_token', 10, 1);
Ensure you provide the same function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook.
You might want to log details whenever a bad session token is encountered. Here’s a simple implementation:
function weplugins_log_bad_session_token($cookie_elements) {
error_log('Bad session token encountered for user: ' . $cookie_elements['username']);
}
add_action('auth_cookie_bad_session_token', 'weplugins_log_bad_session_token', 10, 1);
