How to use customize_render_control_this-id action in WordPress

customize_render_control_this-id action

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $this->id, refers to the control ID.

To use customize_render_control_this-id 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 execute_on_customize_render_control_this-id_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered using add_action. The first parameter customize_render_control_this-id is the name of the hook, The second parameter execute_on_customize_render_control_this-id_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_render_control_this-id action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $control : (WP_Customize_Control) WP_Customize_Control instance.
