To use get_bookmarks filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.
At WePlugins, we always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.
In the below live example, we have defined a function modify_get_bookmarks_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter get_bookmarks is the name of the hook, The second parameter modify_get_bookmarks_defaults is the name of the function which needs to be called, third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.
Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove get_bookmarks filter.
Below are the 2 parameters required to use this hook.
Below is an example of how you can use this hook.
function weplugins_modify_get_bookmarks_defaults($bookmarks, $parsed_args) {
// Update the $bookmarks variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. You can modify the $bookmarks variable conditionally too if you want.
return $bookmarks;
}
// add the filter
add_filter( "get_bookmarks", "weplugins_modify_get_bookmarks_defaults", 10, 2 );
To remove a hook callback, use the example below.
remove_filter( "get_bookmarks", "weplugins_modify_get_bookmarks_defaults", 10, 2 );
Another example where you might want to modify the bookmarks based on a specific condition.
function weplugins_custom_bookmarks_filter($bookmarks, $parsed_args) {
if (isset($parsed_args['category']) && $parsed_args['category'] == 'special') {
// Modify bookmarks for 'special' category
$bookmarks = array_filter($bookmarks, function($bookmark) {
return $bookmark->link_visible == 'Y';
});
}
return $bookmarks;
}
add_filter('get_bookmarks', 'weplugins_custom_bookmarks_filter', 10, 2);
