comments_template_top_level_query_args filter

Example 1: Modify Top Level Query Args

Let’s say you want to modify the top-level query arguments for your comments template. You can easily do this by defining a function and hooking it up like this:

    function weplugins_modify_comments_template_top_level_query_args_defaults($top_level_args) { 
        // Update the $top_level_args variable according to your website requirements.
        return $top_level_args; 
    }
    // Add the filter
    add_filter( "comments_template_top_level_query_args", "weplugins_modify_comments_template_top_level_query_args_defaults", 10, 1 );
    

Example 2: Removing the Hook Callback

Sometimes, you might need to remove a registered hook. Here’s how you can do it:

    remove_filter( "comments_template_top_level_query_args", "weplugins_modify_comments_template_top_level_query_args_defaults", 10, 1 );
    

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

Example 3: Applying the Filter

Below is an example of how you can apply this hook:

    apply_filters( 'comments_template_top_level_query_args', array $top_level_args );
