How to use customize_section_active filter in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Usage of customize_section_active

In this example, we define a function called weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_defaults that utilizes the customize_section_active filter. The function is then registered using add_filter to ensure it modifies the active state of a section based on specific conditions.

    function weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_defaults($active, $section) { 
        // Modify the $active variable based on your website requirements
        return $active; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("customize_section_active", "weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Conditional Logic in customize_section_active

This example builds on the first, adding conditional logic to determine if a section should be active. This is useful when you want certain sections to appear only under specific circumstances.

    function weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_custom($active, $section) { 
        if ($section->id == 'special_section') {
            $active = true; // Make the section active only for 'special_section'
        }
        return $active; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("customize_section_active", "weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_custom", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Removing a Hook Callback

If you need to remove a previously registered hook, WordPress provides the remove_filter function. Below is an example of how to remove the customize_section_active filter callback.

    remove_filter("customize_section_active", "weplugins_modify_customize_section_active_defaults", 10, 2);
