How to use dynamic_sidebar_after action in WordPress

Before you get started using dynamic_sidebar_after, you need to register it. You can easily do this by adding the code to your theme’s functions.php file or, if you’re like us at WePlugins, you might prefer creating a custom WordPress Plugin to keep things tidy and safe from theme updates.

Example 1: Basic Usage of dynamic_sidebar_after

Here’s a straightforward example of how you can use this hook to execute a function whenever the action is triggered.

  function weplugins_execute_on_dynamic_sidebar_after_event($index, $has_widgets) {
    // Code to execute when the action occurs
  }
  // Add the action
  add_action("dynamic_sidebar_after", "weplugins_execute_on_dynamic_sidebar_after_event", 10, 2);
  

Example 2: Removing the Hook Action

Sometimes, you might need to remove an action you’ve added. Here’s how you can do that with dynamic_sidebar_after.

  remove_action("dynamic_sidebar_after", "weplugins_execute_on_dynamic_sidebar_after_event", 10, 2);
  

Example 3: Custom Functionality

This example shows how you can extend the functionality by utilizing the parameters passed by the hook.

  function weplugins_custom_sidebar_logic($index, $has_widgets) {
    if ($has_widgets) {
      // Execute logic if the sidebar has widgets
    } else {
      // Execute different logic if the sidebar is empty
    }
  }
  add_action("dynamic_sidebar_after", "weplugins_custom_sidebar_logic", 15, 2);
