How to use customize_value_this-id_database filter in WordPress

customize_value_this-id_database filter

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $this->id_date[‘base’], refers to the base slug of the setting name.

To use customize_value_this-id_database filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. 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 modify_customize_value_this-id_database_defaults which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_filter. The first parameter customize_value_this-id_database is the name of the hook, The second parameter modify_customize_value_this-id_database_defaults is the name of the function that 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_filter to remove customize_value_this-id_database filter.
