How to use enable_live_network_counts filter in WordPress

Ever wondered how to tweak the way your WordPress network counts are handled? Let’s dive into the enable_live_network_counts filter. This hook is super useful for those looking to customize how network counts are managed in WordPress. Just a heads-up, you’ll need to register this hook using add_filter in your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin. WePlugins always recommends using a custom plugin to keep your theme updates hassle-free.

Here’s a quick guide on implementing the enable_live_network_counts filter, with live examples to make it easier for you.

Live Example 1: Basic Hook Implementation

This example shows how to use the enable_live_network_counts filter in its simplest form.

function weplugins_modify_enable_live_network_counts_defaults($small_network, $context) { 
    return $small_network; 
}
add_filter("enable_live_network_counts", "weplugins_modify_enable_live_network_counts_defaults", 10, 2);

Live Example 2: Conditional Modification

Here, we demonstrate how to conditionally modify the $small_network variable based on the context.

function weplugins_modify_enable_live_network_counts_conditionally($small_network, $context) { 
    if ($context === 'users') {
        $small_network = true;
    }
    return $small_network; 
}
add_filter("enable_live_network_counts", "weplugins_modify_enable_live_network_counts_conditionally", 10, 2);

Live Example 3: Removing the Hook

If you need to remove a previously registered hook, use the snippet below.

remove_filter("enable_live_network_counts", "weplugins_modify_enable_live_network_counts_defaults", 10, 2);

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