How to use deleted_term_taxonomy action in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Usage of deleted_term_taxonomy

Here’s a straightforward example of how you can use the deleted_term_taxonomy action. We define a function that executes right after a term taxonomy is deleted.

    function weplugins_execute_on_deleted_term_taxonomy_event($tt_id){
       // Your custom code here.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "deleted_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_deleted_term_taxonomy_event" , 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Custom Logic on Term Deletion

In this example, let’s add some custom logic to be executed when a term taxonomy is deleted. You might want to log these deletions for monitoring purposes.

    function weplugins_log_deleted_term_taxonomy($tt_id){
       // Log the deletion or perform other actions.
       error_log("Term taxonomy with ID $tt_id has been deleted.");
    }
    add_action( "deleted_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_log_deleted_term_taxonomy", 10, 1);
    

Example 3: Removing the Action

If you ever need to remove the action for any reason, here’s how you can do it. This might be useful during testing or when you wish to disable the functionality temporarily.

    // Remove the action
    remove_action( "deleted_term_taxonomy", "weplugins_execute_on_deleted_term_taxonomy_event", 10, 1 );
