How to use before_signup_form action in WordPress

To work with the before_signup_form action, you first need to register it using add_action. You can place this code in the functions.php of your active theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin. At WePlugins, we recommend creating a custom plugin for hooks to ensure nothing breaks when you update your theme.

In the live examples below, we’ve defined a function and registered it using add_action. The first parameter is the name of the hook, the second is the function to be called, the third is the priority, and the last is the number of arguments (if any) to pass to the registered function.

Example 1: Basic Hook Implementation

Here’s how you can use this hook to execute a function before the signup form is displayed.

    function weplugins_execute_on_before_signup_form_event() {
        // Custom code here
    }
    add_action("before_signup_form", "weplugins_execute_on_before_signup_form_event");
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook

If you need to remove a registered hook, you can use the remove_action function as shown below.

    remove_action("before_signup_form", "weplugins_execute_on_before_signup_form_event");
    

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

Example 3: Custom Logic with Parameters

Even though this hook doesn’t accept parameters, you can still implement your custom logic inside the function.

    function weplugins_custom_signup_function() {
        // Add your custom code for signup form
    }
    add_action("before_signup_form", "weplugins_custom_signup_function");
