How to use emoji_svg_url filter in WordPress

Hey there! So, you’re diving into the world of WordPress hooks, huh? Let me tell you about the emoji_svg_url filter. It’s a nifty little tool that lets you filter the URL where emoji SVG images are hosted. Sounds cool, right?

To get started with the emoji_svg_url filter, you need to register it using add_filter. You can pop this code into the functions.php of your active theme or, even better, into a custom WordPress Plugin. We at WePlugins always recommend creating a custom plugin for hooks so your theme updates don’t mess things up.

Here’s a quick example of how you can use this hook:

Example 1: Modify Emoji SVG URL

First up, let’s see how to modify the emoji SVG URL by defining a function modify_emoji_svg_url_defaults. This function will take one parameter, and we register it using add_filter.

    function weplugins_modify_emoji_svg_url_defaults($url) { 
        // Update the $url variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        // You can modify the $url variable conditionally too if you want.
        return $url; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("emoji_svg_url", "weplugins_modify_emoji_svg_url_defaults", 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Remove Emoji SVG URL Filter

Sometimes, you need to remove a registered hook. Here’s how you can use remove_filter to remove the emoji_svg_url filter.

    remove_filter("emoji_svg_url", "weplugins_modify_emoji_svg_url_defaults", 10, 1);
    

Remember to provide the same callback function name, priority, and the number of arguments when removing the hook callback.

Example 3: Apply Filters

And here’s how you apply this filter:

    apply_filters('emoji_svg_url', string $url);
    

Each of these examples shows you a different way to interact with the emoji_svg_url hook. Play around with them and see what you can create!

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook:

• $url: (string) The emoji base URL for SVG images.
