How to use edit_form_after_title action in WordPress

edit_form_after_title action

Fires after the title field.

To use edit_form_after_title 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_edit_form_after_title_event which takes 1 parameter, and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter edit_form_after_title is the name of the hook, the second parameter weplugins_execute_on_edit_form_after_title_event is the name of the function which 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_action to remove edit_form_after_title action.

Parameters

Below is the 1 parameter required to use this hook.

• $post : (WP_Post) Post object.

Live Example 1

Here’s how you can use this hook:

do_action('edit_form_after_title', $post);

Below is an example of how you can use this hook.

    function weplugins_execute_on_edit_form_after_title_event($post){
        // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress.
        // Use the parameters received in the function arguments & implement the required additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action('edit_form_after_title', 'weplugins_execute_on_edit_form_after_title_event', 10, 1);
    

Live Example 2

To remove a hook callback, use the example below:

    remove_action('edit_form_after_title', 'weplugins_execute_on_edit_form_after_title_event', 10, 1);
    

Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
