So, you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks and stumbled upon the embed_content_meta action. This little gem is all about printing additional meta content in the embed template. It’s a handy tool, and you’ll want to register it using add_action. Whether you pop this into your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin, you’re setting yourself up for success. And hey, at WePlugins, we always lean towards creating a custom plugin to keep things smooth during theme updates. Let’s dive into some examples!

Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

Here’s how you can register the embed_content_meta action in your WordPress setup. This snippet sets up a function to execute whenever this action is called.

    function weplugins_execute_on_embed_content_meta_event(){
        // Your code to execute when the action is triggered.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action( "embed_content_meta", "weplugins_execute_on_embed_content_meta_event" );
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook

If you ever need to remove this action, maybe for testing or replacing functionality, here’s how you can do it with remove_action.

    // Remove the action
    remove_action( "embed_content_meta", "weplugins_execute_on_embed_content_meta_event" );
    

Example 3: Advanced Usage with Priority

You can also specify a priority and argument count when adding your action. This is especially useful if multiple functions are hooked to the same action.

    function weplugins_advanced_embed_content_meta(){
        // Advanced behavior for your action
    }
    // Add the action with priority and arguments
    add_action( "embed_content_meta", "weplugins_advanced_embed_content_meta", 10, 2 );
