How to use customize_post_value_set_setting_id action in WordPress

Hey there! As a fellow WordPress enthusiast and developer from India, I know how exciting and sometimes challenging it can be to dive into WordPress hooks. Today, let’s explore the customize_post_value_set_setting_id action hook.

This hook fires when the WP_Customize_Manager::set_post_value() method is called. To use the customize_post_value_set_setting_id action, you first need to register it with add_action. You can place this code in your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom WordPress plugin. At WePlugins, we always recommend using a custom plugin for hooks to avoid issues during theme updates.

Here’s a more detailed look with some live examples:

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

In this example, we’ll define a function weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event that takes two parameters and register it using add_action. The parameters are the hook name, function name, priority, and number of arguments.

    function weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event($value, $manager){
        // Add your custom code here.
    }
    add_action("customize_post_value_set_setting_id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event", 10, 2);
    

Live Example 2: Removing the Hook

If you need to remove a registered hook, use remove_action with the same parameters used in add_action.

    remove_action("customize_post_value_set_setting_id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event", 10, 2);
    

Live Example 3: Using Parameters

Let’s see how you can use the parameters $value and $manager in your function to add custom functionality based on your website’s requirements.

    function weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event($value, $manager){
        // For example, you could log the value and manager instance.
        error_log("Value: " . print_r($value, true));
        error_log("Manager: " . print_r($manager, true));
    }
    add_action("customize_post_value_set_setting_id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event", 10, 2);
    

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

    remove_action("customize_post_value_set_setting_id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_post_value_set_setting_id_event", 10, 2);
    

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