How to use customize_controls_print_styles action in WordPress

customize_controls_print_styles action

Fires when Customizer control styles are printed.

To use customize_controls_print_styles action, first, you have to register it using add_action. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

We at WePlugins always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_styles_event and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter customize_controls_print_styles is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_styles_event is the name of the function which needs to be called, the third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook, so you can use remove_action to remove customize_controls_print_styles action.

Live Example 1

Below is an example of how you can use this hook.

        function weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_styles_event(){
            // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress website according to your requirements.
        }
        // add the action
        add_action( "customize_controls_print_styles", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_styles_event");
    

Live Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

        remove_action( "customize_controls_print_styles", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_controls_print_styles_event");
    

Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.

Live Example 3

Here is another example to show how to manage multiple callbacks with priorities.

        function weplugins_custom_style_one() {
            // Custom style one code here
        }
        function weplugins_custom_style_two() {
            // Custom style two code here
        }
        add_action( "customize_controls_print_styles", "weplugins_custom_style_one", 10 );
        add_action( "customize_controls_print_styles", "weplugins_custom_style_two", 20 );
