Working with WordPress hooks can sometimes be a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll see how powerful they are for customizing your WordPress site. Today, let’s dive into the fs_ftp_connection_types filter. This hook is all about filtering the connection types that appear in the filesystem credentials form. We’ll walk through some examples and see how you can tailor it to fit your needs.
Example 1: Basic Usage of fs_ftp_connection_types
To get started with the fs_ftp_connection_types filter, you’ll first need to register it using add_filter
. Here’s how you can do it in your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:
function weplugins_modify_fs_ftp_connection_types_defaults($types, $credentials, $type, $error, $context) { // Update the $types variable according to your website requirements. return $types; } // Add the filter add_filter("fs_ftp_connection_types", "weplugins_modify_fs_ftp_connection_types_defaults", 10, 5);
Example 2: Conditional Modification
Sometimes, you might want to conditionally modify the connection types based on certain conditions. Here’s a way to do that:
function weplugins_modify_fs_ftp_connection_types_conditionally($types, $credentials, $type, $error, $context) { if ($context === '/specific/path/') { // Modify $types if the context matches a specific path. $types[] = 'new_connection_type'; } return $types; } add_filter("fs_ftp_connection_types", "weplugins_modify_fs_ftp_connection_types_conditionally", 10, 5);
Example 3: Removing the Hook
If ever you need to remove your custom filter after registration, you can use the remove_filter
function. Here’s how:
remove_filter("fs_ftp_connection_types", "weplugins_modify_fs_ftp_connection_types_defaults", 10, 5);
Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments as when the hook was added.
Parameters: When using this hook, you’ll deal with several parameters like $types
, $credentials
, $type
, $error
, and $context
. Each plays a crucial role in determining the connection type behavior.
