How to use export_filters action in WordPress

Hey there! If you’re diving into WordPress hooks, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re talking about the export_filters action hook. This hook fires at the end of the export filters form. To use this action, you’ll need to register it using add_action. You can place this code in the functions.php file of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress plugin. At WePlugins, we always recommend creating a custom WordPress plugin for using hooks. This way, you won’t lose your changes when you update your theme.

Here’s how you can utilize the export_filters action hook:

Example 1: Basic Hook Registration

In this example, we define a function called weplugins_execute_on_export_filters_event and register it using add_action.

    function weplugins_execute_on_export_filters_event(){
        // Code to execute when the action occurs.
    }
    // Add the action
    add_action("export_filters", "weplugins_execute_on_export_filters_event");
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook

If you need to remove a registered hook, you can use remove_action. Just ensure you provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

    // Remove the action
    remove_action("export_filters", "weplugins_execute_on_export_filters_event");
    

Example 3: Advanced Hook Usage with Priority

You can specify the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times.

    function weplugins_advanced_export_filters(){
        // Advanced code execution
    }
    // Add the action with a priority of 10
    add_action("export_filters", "weplugins_advanced_export_filters", 10);
