Let’s dive into the world of WordPress hooks, specifically the customize_controls_head action. This hook is triggered in the head section of Customizer controls. To use it, you need to register the hook using add_action. You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or create a custom WordPress plugin. WePlugins always recommends creating a custom plugin to ensure nothing breaks when you update your theme.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to use the customize_controls_head action with some live examples.
To execute a function when the customize_controls_head action is fired, you can follow the structure below.
function weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_head_event(){
// Code to execute when the action occurs
}
add_action( "customize_controls_head", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_head_event");
If you need to remove a registered hook, use remove_action as shown in this example. Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.
remove_action( "customize_controls_head", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_head_event");
When the same hook is used multiple times, you can set the priority of execution by adding a third parameter to add_action.
function weplugins_custom_priority_customize_controls_head(){
// Code with specific priority
}
add_action( "customize_controls_head", "weplugins_custom_priority_customize_controls_head", 20);
