How to use edit_link_category_form_pre action in WordPress

In WordPress development, hooks are incredibly powerful. They allow you to add custom functionalities or modify existing ones without altering the core code. Today, we are diving into the edit_link_category_form_pre action hook. This hook fires before the Edit Link Category form. You can register this hook using `add_action`. Let’s see how we can make the most out of this hook with some live examples.

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

This example demonstrates how to register the edit_link_category_form_pre hook and execute custom code when this action occurs.

function weplugins_execute_on_edit_link_category_form_pre_event($tag) {
   // Custom code to be executed
}
// Add the action
add_action("edit_link_category_form_pre", "weplugins_execute_on_edit_link_category_form_pre_event", 10, 1);

Live Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

Sometimes, you need to unregister a hook callback. This example shows you how to remove the edit_link_category_form_pre action.

remove_action("edit_link_category_form_pre", "weplugins_execute_on_edit_link_category_form_pre_event", 10, 1);

Ensure you use the same callback function name, priority, and the number of arguments when removing the hook callback.

Live Example 3: Conditional Hook Execution

In this example, we demonstrate how to conditionally execute code based on a specific condition when the edit_link_category_form_pre hook fires.

function weplugins_conditional_edit_link_category_form_pre_event($tag) {
   if ($tag->name == 'specific-category') {
       // Execute code only for a specific category
   }
}
// Add the action
add_action("edit_link_category_form_pre", "weplugins_conditional_edit_link_category_form_pre_event", 10, 1);
