Let’s dive into the world of WordPress hooks with the block_editor_settings_all filter. It’s a handy tool to customize the settings across all block editor types. As developers, we often find ourselves tweaking these settings to fit the unique requirements of our websites. Here, we’ll explore how you can use this filter effectively.

Example 1: Modifying Default Editor Settings

In this example, we will modify the default editor settings. The function weplugins_modify_block_editor_settings_all_defaults allows you to adjust the settings as per your site’s needs.

    function weplugins_modify_block_editor_settings_all_defaults($editor_settings, $block_editor_context) { 
        // Update the $editor_settings variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. 
        return $editor_settings; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("block_editor_settings_all", "weplugins_modify_block_editor_settings_all_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

Sometimes, you might need to remove a registered hook. Here’s how you can use remove_filter to remove the block_editor_settings_all filter.

    remove_filter("block_editor_settings_all", "weplugins_modify_block_editor_settings_all_defaults", 10, 2);
    

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

Example 3: Custom Plugin Approach

At WePlugins, we recommend creating a custom WordPress plugin when using hooks. This approach ensures that your changes remain intact even after theme updates.

    // Create a custom plugin for handling block editor settings all
    function weplugins_custom_plugin_setup() {
        // Your custom plugin code to modify the editor settings
    }
    add_action('plugins_loaded', 'weplugins_custom_plugin_setup');
