How to use edit_term_taxonomies action in WordPress

edit_term_taxonomies action

Fires immediately before a term to delete’s children are reassigned a parent.

To use edit_term_taxonomies 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 execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_action. The first parameter edit_term_taxonomies is the name of the hook, The second parameter execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_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_term_taxonomies action.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $edit_tt_ids: (array) An array of term taxonomy IDs for the given term.

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

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

    function weplugins_execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event($edit_tt_ids){
       // You can write code here to be executed when this action occurs in WordPress.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "edit_term_taxonomies", "weplugins_execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event" , 10, 1);
    

Live Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_action( "edit_term_taxonomies", "weplugins_execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event", 10, 1 );
    

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

Live Example 3: Advanced Usage with Custom Functionality

Here’s an example of implementing additional custom functionality according to your website requirements.

    function weplugins_execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event($edit_tt_ids){
       foreach ($edit_tt_ids as $tt_id) {
           // Custom code to handle each term taxonomy ID
       }
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "edit_term_taxonomies", "weplugins_execute_on_edit_term_taxonomies_event" , 10, 1);
