Alright, let’s talk about the customize_control_active filter in WordPress. This little gem helps you manage whether a Customizer control is active or not. You register it using add_filter, and the cool part is you can pop this code into your theme’s functions.php or, even better, into a custom WordPress Plugin. You know, to keep things neat and not break anything during theme updates.
Here’s how you can modify the active state of a Customizer control using this filter. This function checks the current state and allows you to tweak it based on your website’s needs.
function weplugins_modify_customize_control_active_defaults($active, $control) {
// Modify the $active variable as needed
return $active;
}
// Add the filter
add_filter("customize_control_active", "weplugins_modify_customize_control_active_defaults", 10, 2);
Need to remove a previously registered hook? Use remove_filter to get it done. Just ensure you pass the correct callback name, priority, and number of arguments.
remove_filter("customize_control_active", "weplugins_modify_customize_control_active_defaults", 10, 2);
This example shows how the filter is applied. It’s a straightforward call to apply_filters with the hook and the parameters.
apply_filters('customize_control_active', bool $active, WP_Customize_Control $control);
Just a quick note: the parameters required for this hook are:
