How to use customize_controls_print_footer_scripts action in WordPress

Are you venturing into the world of WordPress hooks? Let’s dive into the customize_controls_print_footer_scripts action hook. This hook is your go-to for printing templates, control scripts, and settings right in the footer. To make use of this action, you must first register it using the add_action function. You can place this code within your theme’s functions.php file or, even better, create a custom WordPress Plugin. At WePlugins, we always suggest the latter to ensure your theme updates don’t disrupt your customizations.

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

Here’s a straightforward example of how to register the customize_controls_print_footer_scripts action with a custom function.

    function weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_footer_scripts_event(){
        // Your code here will run when the action is triggered
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("customize_controls_print_footer_scripts", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_footer_scripts_event");
    

Live Example 2: Removing a Hook

If you need to remove a previously registered hook, here’s how you can do it using remove_action.

    // Remove the action
    remove_action("customize_controls_print_footer_scripts", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_footer_scripts_event");
    

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

Live Example 3: Advanced Usage with Priority

Sometimes, you may want to control the execution order of multiple hooks. Here’s an example using the priority parameter.

    function weplugins_another_function(){
        // Additional code to be executed
    }
    // Add the action with priority
    add_action("customize_controls_print_footer_scripts", "weplugins_another_function", 20);
