How to use customize_render_section_this-id action in WordPress

Alright, let’s dive into the customize_render_section_this-id action! This hook is quite dynamic as it focuses on the ID of the specific Customizer section to be rendered. First, you need to register it using add_action. You can place this code in the functions.php of your active theme or, as many developers prefer, in a custom WordPress Plugin to avoid issues during theme updates.

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

In this example, we define a function named weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event and register it using add_action. The hook name is customize_render_section_this-id, and our custom function will be executed when this action occurs.

function weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event() {
    // Custom code to execute when this action occurs.
}
// Add the action
add_action( "customize_render_section_this-id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event");

Live Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

Sometimes, you may need to remove a registered hook. You can use remove_action to achieve this. Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

remove_action( "customize_render_section_this-id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event");

Live Example 3: Conditional Execution

In this example, we demonstrate how to conditionally execute code based on certain criteria within the customizer section.

function weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event() {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        // Code to execute if the user is logged in
    } else {
        // Code to execute if the user is not logged in
    }
}
// Add the action
add_action( "customize_render_section_this-id", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_render_section_this-id_event");
