How to use customize_save_id_base action in WordPress

Let’s dive into the world of WordPress hooks! Today, we’re going to explore the customize_save_id_base action. In WordPress, the dynamic portion of the hook name, $id_base, refers to the base slug of the setting name. To use the customize_save_id_base action, you first need to register it using 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 creating a custom WordPress Plugin for hooks to ensure nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the examples below, we define a function execute_on_customize_save_id_base_event which takes one parameter, and we register it using add_action. The parameters used are as follows: the first parameter customize_save_id_base is the name of the hook, the second parameter execute_on_customize_save_id_base_event is the name of the function 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 to the registered function.

Example 1: Basic Usage

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

    function weplugins_execute_on_customize_save_id_base_event($setting){
       // Implement your custom functionality here.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("customize_save_id_base", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_save_id_base_event", 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action("customize_save_id_base", "weplugins_execute_on_customize_save_id_base_event", 10, 1);
    

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

Example 3: Dynamic Action Example

This demonstrates how to utilize the dynamic portion of the hook name.

    do_action("customize_save_{$id_base}", WP_Customize_Setting $setting);
