How to use deleted_usermeta action in WordPress

deleted_usermeta action

To use deleted_usermeta action, first you have to register it using add_action. 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 weplugins_execute_on_deleted_usermeta_event and we registered using add_action. The first parameter deleted_usermeta is name of the hook, The second parameter weplugins_execute_on_deleted_usermeta_event is name of the function which need to be called, third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if same hook is used multiple times and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometime, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_action to remove deleted_usermeta action.
