Ever stumbled upon a deprecated hook in WordPress and wondered what to do? Well, you’re in the right place! Let’s dive into the deprecated_hook_run action. This particular hook is triggered when a deprecated hook is called in WordPress. To make use of this, you need to register the hook using add_action. You can place this code either in the functions.php of your active theme or, preferably, in a custom WordPress plugin. At WePlugins, we recommend the latter to ensure nothing breaks during theme updates.
Example 1: Basic Usage of deprecated_hook_run
Here’s how you can set up the deprecated_hook_run action in your WordPress site.
function weplugins_execute_on_deprecated_hook_run_event($hook, $replacement, $version, $message){ // Your custom code here } // Add the action add_action("deprecated_hook_run", "weplugins_execute_on_deprecated_hook_run_event", 10, 4);
Example 2: Removing a Registered Hook
If you need to remove a registered hook, you can use the remove_action function like this:
// Remove the action remove_action("deprecated_hook_run", "weplugins_execute_on_deprecated_hook_run_event", 10, 4);
Ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook callback.
Example 3: Custom Functionality Using Parameters
You can utilize the parameters received in the function arguments to implement custom functionality according to your website’s needs.
function weplugins_custom_deprecated_hook_handler($hook, $replacement, $version, $message){ // Implement your custom functionality here } add_action("deprecated_hook_run", "weplugins_custom_deprecated_hook_handler", 20, 4);
The parameters required for this hook are:
- $hook: The hook that was called.
- $replacement: The hook that should be used as a replacement.
- $version: The version of WordPress that deprecated the argument used.
- $message: A message regarding the change.
